https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/politics/lone-star-politics/texas-house-lacks-quorum-again-as-second-special-session-gets-started/2714289/

...The special session began Saturday, and although there were more Democrats in the chamber than in the first, there weren't enough to meet the necessary number to take a vote.

The numbers were not there Monday when the House met at 4 p.m. One hundred members are needed to hold a vote.

“You know, we are taking this a couple of days at a time here, and what I can tell you is that our House Democratic Caucus continues to oppose these anti-voter bills with everything that we have,” caucus chairman Rep. Chris Turner (D-Arlington) said...

He exposed all of those people. Legislators, staff, security, their families.
