Texas legislators can meet at other times of the year when summoned by the governor for special sessions.
The first session of a congress typically begins on January 3rd of odd-numbered years, as mandated by the United States Constitution. This session marks the start of a new term for members of the House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate. During this time, legislators are sworn in, leadership positions are established, and the agenda for the session is set.

State legislators are paid meager salaries. Senators and representatives alike earn only $7,200 per year, or $14,400 for a two-year legislative period. Some may consider this salary generous, since after all legislators work only for 140 days over two years. However, this salary equals just slightly over $100 per day. Even if our legislators worked only eight hours per day, this would equal only $12.86 per hour for the people who make our state laws and conduct oversight of executive branch offices. The truth is that legislators work for many days leading up to the legislative session, and then work very long hours, seven days a week, once the session begins. Furthermore, legislators spend a lot of time campaigning for office and subsequently servicing constituents. This reduces hourly compensation to well below minimum wage.

There are four possible things people are referring to when they refer to the legislative session. First is the biennial session that begins on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of January in an odd-numbered year and ends no later than the first Monday after the third Saturday in May of the even-numbered year. The 2001-2002 session is a biennial session. The next definition of a session is the yearly session, which begins on the day the Legislature assembles and ends on the day it adjourns for the year. Daily sessions, which adjourn each day, are any time the House or Senate meet on the floor of their respective chambers. At such times, both bodies are referred to as "in session." Finally, a special session is one called by the governor at a time other than a regularly scheduled session. The legislature, though, determines the length and purpose of any such session.
there are officially 2 sessions per two-year term

In 2007, an Iowa State Senator made $25,000/year. Most state legislators have full-time jobs in addition to their legislative duties, as they generally are not in session for long periods. Most are professionals who can afford to take time away from work.
