SHE HASN'T EVEN BEEN SWORN IN. Texas Republicans are already discussing how to limit incoming Democratic Lt. Gov. Vikki Goodwin's power. • The GOP will hold 19 of 31 Senate seats. • Republicans could transfer committee appointment authority. • Control over bill referrals and the legislative calendar could shift away from the lieutenant governor. • No rule changes have been adopted yet. The election changed the leadership. Now the fight is over who actually controls the Senate.
