I dearly love this aspect of Texas. It is such total genius.
And the escapades with legislators fleeing the state in order to block legislation makes for hilarity.
But when they are in session, they focus on important issues like playing revisionist history with your children's school textbooks...
Even better than a part time legislature, in fact. Texas only meets for a few months every other year.
On top of that, a huge fraction of the laws are written directly in the constitution, meaning that without a supermajority it's impossible to change almost anything.
