Under SB 38, tenants only have 4 days to respond to an eviction notice, or a court can rule in the landlord's favor, without a hearing.
Working Texans need time to respond to an eviction notice, but the bill authors wouldn't budge on the fast tracked timeline.

Arizona’s voucher program is a cautionary tale for us in Texas: $330M over budget, gutting public services and leaving families in chaos, all to funnel taxpayer money to wealthy, unaccountable private schools.

NEW: Arizona does not vet new voucher schools. Not even if the school or the online school “provider” has already failed, or was founded yesterday, or is operating out of a strip mall, or offers just a half hour of instruction per morning.

Arizona Regulators Closed a Failing Charter School. It Reopened as a Private Religious School Funded by Taxpayers.
Arizona’s acclaimed voucher program provides zero transparency into private schools’ history, academic performance or financial sustainability to help parents make informed school choices.
