Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday called a second special session to push through a redrawing of congressional maps to secure up to five more Republican seats in the US House.

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 concluded its first special session on Friday morning after failing to reach a quorum — the necessary attendance required — to vote on mid-decade redistricting. Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows gaveled out the first session at 10:04 a.
