The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: It’s not a finished deal yet but it is closer than ever before: School choice in Texas. I give a full review of the House finally passing school choice.

- School choice plan clears historic hurdle with Texas House approval
- Texas House gives initial OK to $1 billion school voucher proposal

Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.
