The Texas House is scheduled to try convening a quorum again at noon, with absent Democrats expected to return.

The redrawing begun in Texas weeks ago has been stalled since dozens of Democrats, who are the minority in each chamber, left the state on Aug. 3.

Democratic lawmakers who fled Texas to block a Republican redistricting plan are now returning individually, likely allowing the House to reconvene. Republicans aim to pass a map that could add five GOP congressional seats.
