seaver....using the fact that the TX legislature meets only every other year seems a bit of a stretch to me to excuse the de facto proxy voting on the floor which is clearly a violation of it own rules and procedures.
Most state legislatures are part time and have 90-120 day sessions, and like the TX legislature (and the US Congress) conduct committee/council hearing simultaneously with having floor votes. There is no reason why a TX legislator cant leave a committee/council meeting for 10 minutes to go to the floor and vote.
