Sunday afternoon, State Senators launched a public hearing on a bill to redraw congressional voting districts in Texas. The hearing, comes two days after Governor Greg Abbott called a second

For weeks, the Texas House has been unable to make quorum, but that will likely change, according to one of the House Democrats who fled to Chicago.

Abbott called a second special session after the House again failed to reach a quorum amid a Democratic walkout over a GOP-favored redistricting plan.

Multiple sources say Texas House Democrats who left the state to prevent a vote on new congressional maps will return to Texas.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced a second special legislative session would begin at noon Friday setting the stage for another redistricting fight like the one that snarled the first session.

"If we still do not have a quorum on Friday, the House and the Senate will sine die this session, and the Governor will immediately issue a proclamation for a 2nd called special session," Texas Speaker of the House Dustin Burrows said. "We will gavel in for the 2nd session Friday and reestablish the call of the House."

Gov. Greg Abbott has called a second special session for 19 agenda items as Texas' redistricting showdown rages on.

Texas Democrats who oppose a controversial Republican-led redistricting plan appear to be shifting strategy from walkout to holding protest rallies.
