• Dallas Morning News: Michael Morton Act left pending, could go soon to House floor

See also coverage from the SA Express News on passage by the Texas House of the Timothy Cole Exoneration Commission. At the Fort Worth Star Telegram, Bob Ray Sanders has a column titled, "Texas Senate should approve exoneration commission."
