Texas governor

More than 60 anti-Trump protests are planned in major cities across the state this weekend, including Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio.

Advocates say the bills will give parents more power over their children's schools. Critics say they don't give parents anything they didn't already have and will only strain their relationship with teachers.

Their filing says the lawsuit that struck down in-state tuition for undocumented students was "contrived" to keep their voices out.

The Texas governor signed a $50 million bill into law on Wednesday to help bring ibogaine through FDA-approved clinical trials for opioid use disorders and other neurological and mental health conditions. Advocates said the legislation is the largest state-funded psychedelic research initiative in history.

While protests in Houston, San Antonio and Dallas remained mostly peaceful, tensions flared in Austin Monday evening.

Three related bills prompted substantial discussions in the Texas House and Senate this year. Two passed.

Texas' Senate Bill 13 empowers school boards to decide which books are permitted in their school libraries. It also allows parents to submit a list of books their children are prohibited from checking out.

The base salary for state judges hasn't changed or adjusted for inflation since 2013, ranking Texas second-to-last for judicial salaries in the country.

House Bill 126, which allows student athletes to receive a slice of the billions Texas colleges generate in revenue from their teams, now awaits the governor's signature.

Senate Bill 13 would require school boards or advisory councils to approve new books and review complaints. In most cases only 50 parents' approval would be needed to create the oversight councils.
