Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows (R) gaveled in the start of lawmakers’ second special session Friday afternoon, saying he expected there to be enough lawmakers present to conduct business on Monday.

“I have been told, and I expect that we will reestablish quorum on Monday. Although I have not seen any public statements directly from those who are not here, that seems to be what people have the expectation of,” Burrows said, referring to the minimum number of lawmakers needed present in order to conduct business.
