The Brief
Texas House Democrats have continued to break a quorum, preventing the legislature from conducting business for the second consecutive week.
The Democrats' action is a protest against a controversial redistricting bill, which is the main reason for the special session.
Multiple bills regarding flood relief and disaster recovery, following the July 4 floods, are now stalled as a result of the ongoing protest.
When the Texas House Democrats chose to break the quorum, it was known that this would stall other legislation.
Flood relief is a topic that both sides feel strongly about, but Democrats shared today that they have no plans to return during this special session.
