Texas state Democrats returned to the state capital on Monday for the start of the House’s special session on redistricting, ending a two-week strike to protest Republicans‘ plans to increase the number of GOP congressional seats in the state’s delegation.

The state House reconvened at noon Central time to begin the second special session, with the chamber meeting the 100-member threshold for a quorum, or the necessary attendance required to conduct legislative business, for the first time in two weeks.
