Request for opinion from the Texas Attorney General:

With this in mind, does our constitution or state statutes expressly allow for the vacating of
legislative seats or seeking a determination if legislators have vacated their legislative seats
when members deliberately deny the constitutional quroum (sic) requirement, announce
intentions to leave and remain outside the State the state in order to prevent the presiding
officer from compelling attendance, and have taken the oath of office?

Bazinga!

El Paso Democrat Joe Moody stripped of leadership position in Texas House after leaving state with Democrats

Phelan should also start working overtime to move to the right far enough to make sure all the Republicans can support him for Speaker of the House instead of selling speaker-pro-tem and committee chairmanships for Democrat votes.

It should be leaked that a posse of Texans and MAGA troops are planning to infiltrate their hotel, seize the legislators, and drag them back to Texas. Announce that an anonymous republican donor in Texas has put up a big reward for their capture and return. It wouldn't have to be necessarily be true, but they they should be under some genuine stress, and having to wash your underwear in the sink doesn't count. Trump could help by sending his private jet to Dulles to be parked waiting for an "undisclosed purpose."

And disrupting a Special Session called according to the Texas Constitution is fundamentally different from trying to protest and disrupt the acceptance of the Electoral College results of an election that more than half the country believes was hokey? I guess one difference is no one has shot a Democrat legislator.
