• All handgun licenses issued in other states will be honored in Texas if, as expected, Gov. Greg Abbott signs the measure. This would end the requirement that the governor must negotiate agreements with other states.
• The Texas Bitcoin Reserve with a market capitalization of at least $500 billion will be created and administered by the Texas comptroller. The two chambers must work out some minor differences in the two versions of the bill.
