Saturday’s decisions signal a deescalating intraparty tension that heightened at the start of the year.

The state party’s governing board will meet Saturday to decide whether 10 Texas House Republicans, including House Speaker Dustin Burrows of Lubbock, tried to thwart GOP priorities during this year’s legislative session.

Burrows claims the support of a coalition of Republicans and Democrats, while Cook has the endorsement of the GOP caucus.
