According to News8Austin.com, "End-of-life legislation stalls in Texas House", by AP (5/23/2007 3:57 PM),
"A proposal to extend the time for medically futile patients before a hospital can cut off their life support never made it out of the Texas House.
The legislation -- already approved in the Senate -- was scheduled for a House vote, but the plan never came up before a midnight Tuesday deadline for the passage of certain bills.
Rep. Dianne White Delisi, R-Temple, says her proposal needed more time for debate, so it's likely the current 10-day deadline for cutting off life-sustaining treatment will remain Texas law."
How convenient!
