For the third time this year, the Texas Legislature has adjourned sine die. That means that as of Thursday evening, the 2nd called special session was done, finished, over, complete. They shut things down a few days ahead of schedule.
Sine die is Latin for "without day," but while we don't yet know exactly which day they will meet again, we know for certain that they will meet again this year. Legislators may be saying bye for now, but it's really more like "see you again soon."
A third special session will be called for this fall in order for legislators to tackle the topic of redistricting. State leaders are already planning a wish list of items to add to that call so legislators will be working on other things in addition to maps when they reassemble in a few short weeks.
