The special session will begin on July 21 for lawmakers to tackle bills that were vetoed during the 89th Legislative Session, including Senate Bill 3.

Pro-THC advocates' and business owners' relentless efforts proved at least temporarily successful late Sunday after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott opted to veto a looming ban on consumable hemp products.

The move infuriated Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, the powerful head of the Senate, who had called the ban among his top five bills over 17 years in the Legislature.
