The #Texas#House can conduct business only when two-thirds of its 150 members are present. At least 51 of the chamber’s 62 #Democrats will need to boycott the session to prevent #Republicans from acting on the new map. The lawmakers could return a couple of days before the special session ends Aug. 19 & use other stall tactics, but any success could be short-lived as #GregAbbott can immediately call another 30-day session.

#GregAbbott threatens to try to expel #Democrats who left #Texas
The Texas state #House is set to reconvene at 3PM CT Monday. Democrats have left the state to try to stop #Republicans from moving ahead with enacting a new congressional map that would give the #GOP 5 more safe seats in the #US#Congress.
