AUSTIN (Nexstar) — Exactly a week ago, Texas House Democrats returned to the state after fleeing to prevent Republicans from voting on President Donald Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Map.' Now, Republicans are trying to prevent them from leaving in the future.

During the second special session, three bills have been filed to either punish quorum-breakers or prevent quorum breaks in the future; a measure added to the special session agenda by Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday.

• House Bill 18: Banning fundraising during a quorum break
• Senate Bill 48/House Bill 64: Vacating the seat of a lawmaker with seven consecutive days of unexcused absences
• House Joint Resolution 10: Amending the Texas Constitution to reduce the quorum threshold from two-thirds majority to a simple majority

According to the Texan News reporter Brad Johnson, the Texas House Republicans agreed to support each of those bills, along with supporting House rule changes to increase penalties for future quorum breaks.
