Texas Tech
Saturday afternoon, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed HB 1, the state's budget for the next biennium (Sept. 1, 2019-Aug. 31, 2020 & Sept. 1, 2020-Aug. 31, 2021) into law. In a rare move, Governor Abbott elected not to use his line-item veto powers and approved the budget without any changes.
The Texas Tech University System will receive $17.35 million over the biennium to help establish the Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine in Amarillo. Texas Tech's focus will be on training veterinarians with a focus on large animals and livestock.
