Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit with the state Supreme Court on Aug. 8, asking it to declare 13 Texas House seats vacant “due to continued unlawful absences by Democrat legislators who failed to meet the return deadline” on the same day, which was set by Texas Speaker of the House Dustin Burrows.

“I have asked the Texas Supreme Court to declare what has been clear from the beginning: that the runaway members have officially vacated their offices in the Texas House,” Paxton said in a press release.
