Share this @internewscast.com


Texas House Democrats announced on Monday that they had returned to Austin for the next stage in a broader redistricting battle playing out across the country, saying their conditions to return to the Lone Star State had been met.

“We killed the corrupt special session, withstood unprecedented surveillance and intimidation, and rallied Democrats nationwide to join this existential fight for fair representation reshaping the entire 2026 landscape,” Texas Democratic House Caucus Chair Gene Wu said in a statement. 

“We’re returning to Texas more dangerous to Republicans’ plans than when we left. Our return allows us to build the legal record necessary to defeat this racist map in court, take our message to communities across the state and country, and inspire legislators across the country how to fight these undemocratic redistricting schemes in their own statehouses,” he added.

Texas House lawmakers are scheduled to meet at 1pm E.T. on Monday during their second special session.
