CBS Dallas/Fort Worth September 4, 2021 It was the moment Texas lawmakers had been looking forward to: Adjourning Thursday night after a long summer that included not one, but two special sessions. Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa said the second special session was driven by Governor Greg Abbott's 2022 primary race. "It was a session that was convened by Governor Abbott in order to shore up his base with the Republican Party and get ready for his reelection campaign now that he has two right-wing Republicans running against him," Hinojosa said.
