Texas state Rep. Jolanda "Jo" Jones, a Democrat, flips through maps during a public hearing on congressional redistricting in Austin, Texas, Friday, Aug. 1, 2025. After the bill passed the committee, state Democrats fled to Illinois and New York to break the quorum and stall a vote on the new maps, which heavily favor Republicans.

The Texas House failed to reach the quorum needed to vote on a new congressional map that could have given Republicans five new seats, after House Democrats forced a legislative standstill.
