For weeks, the Texas House has been unable to make quorum, but that will likely change, according to one of the House Democrats who fled to Chicago.
Republican leaders said that if they can't reach a quorum again at 10 a.m., both the House and Senate will wrap up the special session.
Texas Democrats are battling a GOP-led redistricting plan they say threatens to undermine fair representation ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Texas Democrats set plan to end nearly 2-week walkout over Republicans’ redraw of US House maps
Texas Democrats have moved closer to ending a nearly two-week walkout that has blocked the GOP's redrawing of U.S. House maps before the 2026 election.
Texas Republicans tried again to reconvene the House on Monday for a vote on redrawing congressional maps in their party's favor, an effort that already sparked a national political brawl and prompted Democratic lawmakers to leave the state to deny Republicans the quorum they need.
