Democratic lawmakers from Texas say they’re considering their options amid reports they could return to the state as soon as this weekend, a move that could end a standoff in which more than 50 state representatives left in a bid to block controversial new congressional maps backed by President Donald Trump.

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.

House Speaker Dustin Burrows has issued civil arrest warrants for the absent members found to be in Texas. None has been executed to date.
