DALLAS—Texas Democrats defied Gov. Greg Abbott’s call to return to the state for an Aug. 4 hearing on redrawing congressional district lines, setting up a showdown between the two sides.
Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows announced that a quorum had not been met after roll call. House members then approved a motion for the speaker to sign warrants “for the civil arrest” of the members who said they would not be there.
