Perry calls special legislative session :

Gov. Rick Perry has called a special session of the Texas Legislature for this summer to consider redrawing congressional boundaries, an emotional issue that ignited partisan warfare last month and led to a Democratic walkout.

Official word came in letters sent by courier to the offices of House Speaker Tom Craddick and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.

The session would begin June 30 and last up to 30 days. The session may be opened up to what Mr. Perry termed other “important matters,” but the only one specified in his call was redistricting.
