Republican leaders said that if they can't reach a quorum again at 10 a.m., both the House and Senate will wrap up the special session.

AUSTIN, Texas — Texas lawmakers get a two-hour break Friday before they're expected back in their chambers. After the first special session adjourned sine die at 10 a.m. Friday, Gov. Greg Abbott called a second special session to begin at noon.

An Illinois judge ruled that the state will not enforce civil warrants against Texas House Democrats that left the state during the special legislative session.

Texas Democratic lawmakers' absence from a special session leads to a legal battle and GOP efforts to enforce their return.
