prayers for Texas Governor, Greg Abbott
The Texas House may compel the attendance of its members by arrest if necessary, the state Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday. The court opinion comes after over a month without a legislative quorum in the Texas House.
Democratic members have been camping out in Washington, D.C. or other undisclosed locations in order to prevent a GOP-backed election reform bill from passing. Originally, nearly 60 members flew to D.C. but that number has dwindled since as some returned to Austin and others went elsewhere, including overseas.
Last week, Speaker Dade Phelan (R-Beaumont) issued 52 civil arrest warrants for Democrats still breaking quorum, but no arrests have occurred since. Some Democrats sued, securing a preliminary victory when a Travis County district court ruled that the state could not arrest truant members. That order was promptly but temporarily halted by the Texas Supreme Court pending further review.
That review was delivered Tuesday when Justice Jimmy Blacklock wrote the court’s opinion, stating, “The legal question before this Court concerns only whether the Texas Constitution gives the House of Representatives the authority to physically compel the attendance of absent members.”
“We conclude that it does, and we therefore direct the district court to withdraw the [temporary restraining order].”

He is the third elected governor of a U.S. state to use a wheelchair after Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York (1929–1932) and George Wallace of Alabama (1963–1967, 1971–1979; 1983–1987).[226][227] On July 14, 1984, Abbott was jogging when a tree fell on his back and crushed his spine.[226] Abbott also suffered second- and third-degree burns on his legs after coming in contact with scalding water while on vacation in Wyoming in July 2016, which caused him to miss the 2016 Republican National Convention.
