The Texas House of Representatives failed to meet quorum for the third time this week as a dramatic political standoff continues to unfold. On Friday, only 95 of the 150 members showed up—five short of the 100 needed to conduct official business. The absence stems from a Democratic walkout aimed at blocking a controversial redistricting plan that would give Republicans five additional congressional seats.
