7:58Now PlayingTexas Democrats have ended their two-week walkout that put a hold on efforts from Republicans to redraw congressional districts. LiveNOW’s Andy Mac is getting all the updates, live from Texas, from FOX 7 Austin’s Rudy Koski.
"It will withstand this too, and we'll remain as a chamber where the majority has the right to prevail, and the minority has the right to be heard. That has always been the mark of a functioning Texas House," said Speaker Dustin Burrows.
"Conciliatory, you're right, that was the tone, but it's the exact opposite tone. Texans wanted actions, they wanted punishments. We got absolutely nothing," said Midlothian Republican Brian Harrison.
We are hearing that the legislative agenda for the second special session focuses on the same priorities that Texas Governor Greg Abbott set for the first session. These include flood relief, improved flood warning systems, eliminating the STAAR Test, regulating hemp products, banning abortion pills and redistricting.
