The Texas house of representatives remained without a quorum after the state’s Democratic lawmakers fled the state capital to prevent the legislature from adopting a Republican-backed plan for redrawing congressional districts. The Texas house speaker, Dustin Burrows, signed civil arrest warrants to bring back the wayward Democrats – most of whom have gone to Illinois, New York or Massachusetts – to Austin. The warrants apply only within the state, and breaking quorum is not a crime that would allow Texas authorities to pursue extradition from other states
