Speaker Burrows addressed the house, speaking as follows:

Members, the house is now in session. The roll has been called, and a quorum has not been established.

Let me begin by commending the members who did show up—those who answered the call, honored their oath, and came here ready to work for the people of Texas.

Your presence speaks volumes. You understand that the issues before us—disaster recovery, fighting for the families who lost loved ones in the floods, human trafficking, and more—are not abstract policy debates. They are real-world problems demanding immediate solutions.

But instead of confronting those challenges, some of our colleagues have fled the state and their duty.

They've left the state, abandoned their posts, and turned their backs on the constituents they swore to represent. And they've shirked their responsibilities under the direction and pressure of out-of-state politicians and activists who don't know the first thing about what's right for Texas.

To be absolutely clear: Leaving the state does not stop this house from doing its work. It only delays it. And every day this chamber is unable to act, the cost grows.

In response to this dereliction of duty, and pursuant to the Rules of the House, I am prepared to recognize a motion to place a call on the house and any other motions necessary to compel the return of absent members.

Should such a motion prevail, I will immediately sign the warrants for the civil arrest of these members.

As speaker, I will do everything in my power to establish quorum and move this body forward—by any and all means available to this office.

To those who are absent: return now. Show the courage to face the issues you were elected to solve. Come back and fulfill your duty. Because this house will not sit quietly while you obstruct the work of the people.

The people of Texas are watching, and so is the nation. And if you choose to continue down this road, you should know there will be consequences.

The invocation was offered by Ron Joy, Texas Department of Public Safety, Leander.

The chair recognized Representative Metcalf who led the house in the pledges of allegiance to the United States and Texas flags.

Representative Geren moved a call of the house until consideration of HB 4 on third reading is completed.

The motion was seconded by Representatives Curry, Frank, Barry, Morgan, McLaughlin, Button, Gerdes, Dean, Schofield, Landgraf, Tepper, Lambert, Bumgarner, Bonnen, Capriglione, Pierson, Smithee, Ashby, Patterson, Noble, Kerwin, Kitzman, Hickland, Leo Wilson, Wharton, K. Bell, Shaheen, Shofner, Troxclair, LaHood, Little, Holt, Vasut, Lowe, Hopper, Tinderholt, Schoolcraft, Richardson, Olcott, Cook, Oliverson, Harris Davila, Lujan, Cain, Luther, Orr, Slawson, Hayes, Swanson, Dorazio, Alders, Virdell, Money, Schatzline, Metcalf, Hefner, King, Harless, Darby, McQueeney, Harrison, Isaac, Hull, Cunningham, Lozano, VanDeaver, Paul, Villalobos, Leach, Fairly, Dyson, Meyer, Wilson, C.
