Legislators ended their special session — mostly successfully — a little over 30 hours after they started it.

They passed sunset and bond legislation sought by the governor, but closed shop without a vote to allow new public-private partnerships on transportation projects. That complicated issue, lawmakers said, can wait.

Gov. Rick Perry's end-of-session statement:

I am pleased that lawmakers passed legislation to continue the Texas Department of Transportation, Texas Department of Insurance and three other state agencies, and authorized the issuance of $2 billion in transportation bonds that were approved by Texas voters in 2007.

With more than 1,000 people moving to Texas each day and a growing economy, improving transportation in our state continues to be a top priority of mine. I had hoped to reduce uncertainty regarding several major transportation projects across the state by extending the comprehensive development agreement authority for local and state transportation agencies. Although the CDA bill did not pass, we will continue to work with legislators and local officials to find transportation solutions for our state.

Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst on the end of the session:

I'm proud of how quickly and efficiently the Texas Senate came together during this brief special session to pass legislation ensuring the state can issue $2 billion in voter-approved bonds to build roads, and to keep some of our most critical agencies, including the Texas Department of Transportation and the Texas Department of Insurance, open. The Senate also addressed the issue of building toll roads through public-private partnerships, including a handful of specific projects, but determined no legislative action is necessary in this session.
