Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A special session of the Texas legislature was called in 2013 to address the issue of a budget shortfall and to bring the state's budget into balance through legislative action. This was the result of a projected $4.6 billion deficit in the state's budget for the 2012-2013 fiscal year. During the special session, the legislature passed a budget that was balanced and addressed the shortfall, ultimately avoiding any significant cuts to education and other important programs.
