On February 2, 2025, Gov. Greg Abbott gave his State of the State Address, then issued a press release as he traditionally does at the onset of a legislative session. He declared seven emergency items, two of which must be passed during the regular 89th legislative session:

  1. Property tax relief (must be passed this session),
  2. Generational investment in water
  3. Increase teachers’ average salary pay to an all-time high
  4. Career training expansion
  5. School choice (must be passed this session)
  6. Bail reform
  7. Texas Cyber Command creation

Note that each of the seven emergency items listed above links to a one-pager that describes the governor’s plan in detail.
