I found this in another list; maybe it applies to your situation:

"Texas legislature does have a PROPOSAL from TAHC but as
of February 16th, 2006, TAHC POSTPONED voting their proposal into law
because of many Texas Citizens writing and phoning their elected
officials and then many citizens showed up in opposition to NAIS. The
next meeting is to be held May 4th, 2006 in Austin. You  jumped to the
FAQ and bypassed the word POSTPONED just above the FAQ's.
