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

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 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.

Congressional redistricting battle intensifies as California vows to counter Texas GOP maps while Democratic lawmakers end their walkout protest.

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.

Democrats' absence has halted work in the Texas House, which must also approve the new boundaries, for more than a week.
