DALLAS – The private plan to build a bullet train between North Texas and Houston has survived, despite attempts from a Republican state senator to kill it.
State Sen. Charles Schwertner (R-Georgetown) lost his attempt on Thursday night to end the privately-funded project.
"Late this evening, in a 6-4 vote, I came up short in my attempt to ban the use of state taxpayer dollars to support the construction of a high-speed railway in Texas," Schwertner said in an e-mailed news release Thursday night.
