In 1000 words (at a minimum) I want you to evaluate the activity of the 87th meeting of the Texas Legislature.
This assembly is composed of the 150 people in the House of Representatives, and the 15 members of the Senate, elected to office on November 3, 2020. They first met in regular on January 12, 2021, and adjourned after 140 days - as required by the Texas Constitution - on May 31, 2021. They then met in three special sessions called by the governor, and have been limited to attending the occasional committee meeting since then. They will then be replaced by the members of the 88th Legislature which will be elected to office on November 8, 2022, and convene January 10, 2023.
