Is that a light or a train in the tunnel?
The Dallas Morning News reports,
The House and Senate are to meet Sunday in what could be the eagerly awaited redistricting finale in the Legislature.After many played hooky to witness a disappointing defeat for the University of Texas in Saturday's Texas-OU game, House members planned to get back to work Sunday afternoon.
There is optimism, if not pure confidence, that the House will have a quorum to meet and give final approval to a government reorganization bill, said Bob Richter, spokesman for House Speaker Tom Craddick.
If not, Senate GOP leaders could continue to delay acting on the long-awaited GOP plan to redraw congressional districts to give them as many as seven more seats as soon as next year.
"The fear is if the Senate monkeys around and doesn't pass this thing, you take a chance on a filibuster or a Senate walkout," Mr. Richter said. "You have to expect the unexpected at this point."
The special session ends Tuesday.
