The Texas legislative session ends Monday, and there are still several bills working their way through the House and Senate that have the support of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.
Still, Abbott told NBC 5 political reporter Julie Fine on Thursday it's too early to know whether he will call a special session.
"Again, this is way premature. We got so much time left in this. This is like the last two minutes of a football game. The whole game can change in the last two minutes, and I think we will take care of business," Abbott said.
Last week, the governor said he wanted the legislature to pass a privacy bill. And lawmakers have yet to come to agreement on a so-called "bathroom bill." The Senate version says people must use the bathroom that matches their gender on their birth certificates. The House bill pertains to public K-12 schools.
"It's a matter of putting down personal feelings on both the House and the Senate side, and making sure they take care of the business for the people of the state of Texas and come up with a law that everybody can agree on," Abbott said.
One bill that is already headed to the governor's desk is a ban on texting and driving. Abbott says he has not made a decision yet on the bill.
"Well, it is clear that texting while driving has become deadly dangerous. Something must be done about it. I am looking forward to digging into the details of the bill. One thing that I wanted was to have a texting while driving ban that preempted the patchwork quilt of local regulations across the state of Texas. I am going to be looking forward to digging into this bill to find out exactly what it provides and what it amends," Abbott said.

The latest news from around North Texas.
On Thursday, Abbott signed into law a crackdown on inappropriate relationships between teachers and students.
Senate Bill 7 requires principals and superintendents to report inappropriate teacher-student relationships or face jail time and fines up to $10,000. The teacher's family could also lose access to the teacher's pension.
It further mandates that a teacher automatically lose his or her license if he or she has to register as a sex offender.
Teachers would also get training on how to properly handle personal boundaries and relationships with students.
Abbott signed the bill during a ceremony in his office at the state Capitol saying, "Texas will protect its children from sexual predators in our classrooms."
"We needed to pass a law that cracked down on this inappropriate conduct between teachers and students, where teachers were assaulting students. This is disgusting, and even more disgusting is the fact that principals and administrators, and the state was doing nothing about it," he added.
