The Texas House of Representatives concluded its first special session on Friday morning after failing to reach a quorum — the necessary attendance required — to vote on mid-decade redistricting. Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows gaveled out the first session at 10:04 a.

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

Republican leaders announced that if they can't reach a quorum again at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 15, both the House and Senate will wrap up the special session.
