I live here and I wish the U.S. government was the same. Legislators here meat two months every two years. They can’t do a lot of damage in that short time.
The AG doesn’t have much power here either. He’s not like the AG in other states. He can’t go out and arrest people.
Actually, that's incorrect. The Texas Legislature meets for 140 days beginning the 2nd Tuesday in January every two years. Special sessions may be called as needed which extend the regular session by 30 days.
