Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has long been a leading conservative voice in Texas. The stalwart Republican says he doesn’t yet know if Burrows will impact his hopes for a conservative agenda, but he expressed concern.

“I think it’s clear, but I’m also open to the idea that some doctors don’t see it that way, some hospitals don’t think that way,” said Patrick, a Republican who presides over the Texas Senate. “We don’t want to stand in the way of that, but we’re not going to open it up so that abortion is prevalent again in the state.”

Patrick is the first major Republican official in Texas to say he supports clarifying the state's near-total abortion ban this legislative session.

As President of the Texas Senate, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) on Friday announced his committee appointments for the 89th Legislature.

State lawmakers are preparing to debate legislation that could shut down the sale of all forms of THC in Texas.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Sunday said the Legislature should amend the language of the state’s near-total abortion ban to address confusion over when doctors may terminate pregnancies.

Critically for Trump’s purposes, the amendment is not restricted to consecutive terms. Virtually every constitutional scholar agrees that the two-term limit applies to any two terms by a single person, even if those terms are not back-to-back.

After successful campaigns for House allies, the governor is in a position to set an ambitious course for the legislative session.
