Now that the Texas House has a quorum following Democrats’ two-week absence, lawmakers are back to debate a wide range of issues, including redrawing congressional maps to benefit Republicans.

Texas House Democrats have returned to Austin for a second special session after fleeing the state to block a redistricting effort by Republicans in the state.

AUSTIN, Texas (KXXV) — The Texas House of Representatives is set to meet for a second called special session at noon on Aug. 18. House Democrats also announced that they would return to Austin on Monday, ending a two-week walkout over that stalled redrawing congressional maps and halted having a quorum in the House.
