Sunday afternoon, State Senators launched a public hearing on a bill to redraw congressional voting districts in Texas. The hearing, comes two days after Governor Greg Abbott called a second special session of the Texas Legislature.
"If we still do not have a quorum on Friday, the House and the Senate will sine die this session, and the Governor will immediately issue a proclamation for a 2nd called special session," Texas Speaker of the House Dustin Burrows said. "We will gavel in for the 2nd session Friday and reestablish the call of the House."
Texas Democrats who oppose a controversial Republican-led redistricting plan appear to be shifting strategy from walkout to holding protest rallies.
