Education savings accounts (ESA) passed after a “historic day on the House floor,” which was the first time the school choice proposal has passed in both chambers of the Texas Legislature.
Gov. Greg Abbott called it “an extraordinary victory for the thousands of parents who have advocated for more choices when it comes to the education of their children.” Coming into the 89th Legislative Session, Abbott had successfully rallied for many pro-school choice candidates in the 2024 Republican primaries, which ultimately shifted the vote on Thursday in his favor.
