Rep. Joe Straus formally re-elected as Texas House speaker

AUSTIN — Texas House Speaker Joe Straus won a second term in a lopsided election this afternoon. Straus, a San Antonio Republican, was chosen as speaker by a vote of 132-15, after his last GOP opponent, Rep. Ken Paxton of McKinney, said he wouldn’t permit his name to be placed in nomination.
