The Texas Legislature is barrelling toward an immediate second special session if no quorum is reached Friday, the state’s top Republican officials confirmed on Tuesday.
The House gaveled in on Tuesday, only reaching 95 votes during the roll call, lacking a quorum for the fourth time since Monday last week; the de facto quorum count remains at 97 as two members, state Reps. J.M. Lozano (R-Kingsville) and Eddie Morales (D-Eagle Pass), were present yesterday but marked absent today. Lozano was in the chamber, just not at his desk.
