Updated: Republican Texas House Chairman Cook asks Gov. Abbott for a special session to address school shootings now

“The time to act is now”; As Cook calls for action, Democrats ask Abbott to consider gun legislation they filed in the last session

In the wake of the deadly Santa Fe school shooting last week, Texas House State Affairs Committee Chairman Byron Cook on Monday told Gov. Greg Abbott there is no time to waste when it comes to preventing another similar tragedy.

That’s why the Republican from Corsicana asked Gov. Abbott to call a special session this summer to make changes in how students are protected all over Texas.
