Texas House Of Representatives Fails To Meet Quorum Again

2 days ago The Texas House of Representatives has failed to meet a quorum for the third time this week as Democratic lawmakers continue their walkout to block a vote on congressional voting maps sought by President Donald Trump in a widening national battle over redistricting. Texas Republicans had warned they would escalate efforts to end the nearly weeklong holdout if defiant Democrats don’t return to the state Capitol. But the Democrats who bolted for points across the country on Aug. 3 still didn’t come back for Friday’s scheduled House floor vote. The 150-member House failed to meet the minimum 100 needed to conduct business. Only 95 lawmakers were counted as present.
