Two panicked Democrat state reps returned to the Texas Capitol on Tuesday after Governor Abbott threatened to have them arrested and removed from office for fleeing the state to block GOP redistricting efforts.<\/p>\n

Texas legislators voted <\/a>85-6 on Monday to pass a motion to issue arrest warrants for the Democrat lawmakers who fled to Illinois to block GOP redistricting efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cTexas House Democrats abandoned their duty and are holding flood relief and property tax cuts hostage,\u201d Abbott said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ordered Texas DPS to arrest and return every derelict House Democrat to the Texas Capitol,\u201d Abbott added.<\/p>\n

On Monday afternoon, Texas House lawmakers locked the doors and voted to issue arrest warrants.<\/p>\n

Two of the AWOL Democrats returned on Tuesday as Abbott and AG Ken Paxton threaten to vacate their seats.<\/p>\n

Rep. Philip Cortez and Rep. Eddie Morales have reportedly returned to the Texas Capitol.<\/p>\n

\n

While the stated tally was 94, the vote sheet shows 95 plus Ken King whose machine didn\u2019t register him present even though he was in the chamber. So that puts it at 96, 4 from a quorum.<\/p>\n

Two Dems returned today: E Morales and Cortez.<\/p>\n
