I presume, 30 days from now time runs out again.

Besides, Dewhurst has to go stand in the corner for a while

This sort of thing is pretty common with special sessions, convene, then adjourn for a week or so. I'd bet half the legislators had vacation plans for this week and they weren't too happy about Perry calling another session this week.

If Perry wasn't such a dickhead, he would have waited a month or so for the dust to settle and tempers to moderate. But he couldn't stand the fact that the Democrats won last week and spoiled the atmosphere for his now-postponed announcement as to whether he would runfor President again or settle for being Governor For Life.
