On April 28, 2025, the Texas House State Affairs Committee narrowly voted 7–6 to reject Senate Bill 2188 and its counterpart, House Bill 4660. These bills sought to grant SpaceX expanded authority to close Boca Chica Beach and the only access road, Texas State Highway 4, during rocket launch operations. Currently, such closures require coordination with Cameron County authorities. The proposed legislation would have shifted that control directly to SpaceX and the mayor of the proposed city of Starbase.

The Texas House has approved a $1 billion school voucher bill (86–63), marking a significant victory for Governor Greg Abbott and advancing Republican efforts to reshape the state's education system. The Senate has already passed the bill, which allows families, especially low-income households and those with children with disabilities, to use taxpayer money for private school tuition and related expenses. Critics argue it diverts funds from public schools. Final House approval is a formality before reconciling with the Senate version.
