Reports have suggested the absent lawmakers are considering a return to Texas, while a statement from the caucus insists a decision has not been made.

Republican leaders announced that if they can't reach a quorum again at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 15, both the House and Senate will wrap up the special session.

After the Texas House didn’t reach a quorum on Tuesday, the Texas House Democratic Caucus said absconding House Democrats would return after the first special session is over.
