WASHINGTON (TNND) — The Texas House will reconvene at 11 a.m. E.T. in Austin. They will adjourn the special session due to a lack of a quorum, as Democrats who left the state had not returned. After the current session is adjourned, Gov. Abbott will call for a new special session to start on Friday.

Texas House Democrats, who fled the state to block a vote on redrawn congressional maps, said Thursday that they will return under two specific conditions. The Texas House Democratic Caucus announced lawmakers will rejoin the Legislature and help form a quorum if the session adjourns sine die on Friday,

The lawmakers have faced bomb threats, separation from their families and loss of income — as Republicans threaten another special session to push redistricting.
