Second Reading Podcast: Guns & the border take center stage as the Texas Legislature enters its final weeks
May 10, 2023 | By: Texas Politics Project

In a new Second Reading Podcast, Jim Henson and Josh Blank look at what the latest University of Texas/Texas Politics Project Poll tells us about the suprising movement of a bill that would raise the legal age for purchasing some firearms from 18- to 21 years of age, and Gov. Abbott's latest actions on the US-Mexico border.

A few of the poll results discussed in the podcast. More results of the April 2023 UT/Texas Politics Project Poll can be found in the blog entry created for the rollout of the poll and in our polling archive. And here's a link directly to the final calendar deadlines for the Texas Legislature.
