The Texas Senate approved the second reading of a bill banning THC products on Wednesday with a 21-9 vote. The final vote will take place on Friday.Just over a month ago, Gov. Greg Abbott vetoed a similar bill banning products containing THC.

The dueling legislation (the Perry bill and the Johnson bills) signals a likely showdown in the House of Representatives, where lawmakers are more inclined to regulate THC than eliminate it. A vote in the House has not been set,

Texas senators appear split in their approach to THC, as some members approved a newly revived ban on such products Wednesday and a band of Democratic senators introduced legislation that would regulate it and move to strip back criminalization.
