House Speaker said he expected the missing members to return by Monday to resume work on redistricting, THC rules and flood responses.

The Texas House of Representatives was forced to adjourn for the second time Friday after failing to meet the minimum attendance threshold upon gaveling in for the second special session called by Gov.

Texas House Democrats blocked the end of the first special session by maintaining a quorum break, preventing Republicans from passing new congressional maps. Speaker Dustin Burrows adjourned the session with only 95 members present—five short of quorum.
