Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday announced that he would seek judicial orders declaring that state Democrats who do not return to the legislature by the state House speaker’s deadline have vacated their offices.
"The people of Texas elected lawmakers, not jet-setting runaways looking for headlines. If you don’t show up to work, you get fired," he said.
