Texas House Lacks Quorum After Democratic Lawmakers Leave State

Texas House Faces Quorum Issues After Democratic Walkout

The Texas House of Representatives convened recently, but found itself unable to conduct official business due to the absence of a quorum. This was a direct result of Democratic lawmakers leaving the state, a move designed to disrupt and delay the Republican-led legislature's agenda.

The departure of the Democratic representatives effectively prevents the House from voting on key legislation. This political maneuver highlights the deep divisions within the Texas legislature and the lengths to which both parties are willing to go to advance their respective agendas.
