Multiple sources say Texas House Democrats who left the state to prevent a vote on new congressional maps will return to Texas.

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.

For weeks, Texas Democrats have been doing everything in their power to draw national attention to a radical Republican plan to try to hang on to the House of Representatives in next year's midterms by gerrymandering the state's already heavily skewed maps even further.
