Meanwhile, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has threatened to arrest any lawmaker who breaks quorum.
"If Democrats ignore their duty to their constituents by breaking quorum, they should be found and arrested no matter where they go. The people of Texas elected them to do a job, not run away and hide like cowards," Paxton said earlier this month.
"My office stands ready to assist local, state, and federal authorities in hunting down and compelling the attendance of anyone who abandons their office and their constituents for cheap political theater," he added.
Where did Paxton say that? On twitter he posted that they “should” be hunted down not that they “will”.
