A bill to increase cooperation between Texas sheriffs and federal authorities in order to better enforce immigration law was given approval by state House members this week.
Senate Bill (SB) 8, coauthored in the upper chamber by Sens. Charles Schwertner (R-Georgetown) and Joan Huffman (R-Houston) and carried in the House by Rep. David Spiller (R-Jacksboro), is a priority piece of legislation that generated considerable debate when it was brought before House members on Saturday.
