Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows on Tuesday said more than enough House members are lined up in support of private school vouchers, building on his earlier optimism that the measure would overcome longstanding opposition from Democrats and rural Republicans.

House Speaker Dustin Burrows said he expects both school choice bills to make it out of a House committee and onto the House floor for a vote early next week.

The gaps over eligibility and on spending levels are narrower than the fundamental differences of the previous session.
