With the 2021 regular legislative session, three special sessions and the March primary behind us, Texas lawmakers are turning to what’s next.
Join The Texas Tribune at noon Wednesday, April 13, at the Buena Vista Theater at the University of Texas at San Antonio for “Inside the Interim with San Antonio Lawmakers,” a free, local event with San Antonio-area legislators on what the 2021 sessions, the 2022 election season and the next legislative session mean for the Alamo City.
