Notable controversies [edit]

House voting controversy [edit]

On May 14, 2007, CBS Austin chapter KEYE reported on multiple voting by representatives during House floor sessions.^[12] The report noted how representatives register votes for absent members on the Firm'south automated voting machines. Each representative would vote for the nearest absent members (apparently regardless of political party affiliation). This practice was in direct violation of a Dominion of the House; however, no representative had ever been disciplined for the practice in the virtually lxx years since the rule was adopted. Speaker Craddick, responsible for enforcement of House Rules, issued a statement that discipline for violations of the rule is left to the private members.

Craddick removal controversy [edit]

Anarchy erupted in the Texas Firm of Representatives on Friday, May 25, 2007, when Rep. Fred Hill, R-Richardson, attempted to offering a motion to remove Tom Craddick as Speaker and have the House elect a new speaker. Craddick (also a Republican) refused to permit him to make the motion.^[13] The attempts to oust Craddick continued through the weekend as other Republicans made additional motions, which were besides disallowed.

The last time a Texas House speaker was removed by a vote of his fellow members was in 1871, when the Business firm adopted a resolution removing Speaker Ira Evans. The Republican House bulk removed Evans because he was seen as cooperating also much with Democrats on an elections pecker.^[xiii] While Craddick'due south shut allies say the 2007 attempt to remove Craddick was just an effort by Democrats to gain greater command of the legislature before the legislative and congressional redistricting process of 2011,^[xiii] Rep. Byron Cook, R-Corsicana, said that the fight was about Craddick consolidating power with lobbyists and using campaign contributions to maintain control of the Firm: "This is about the convergence of money and power and influence."^[13]

In Jan 2009, Craddick lost the Speaker's chair after a challenge from Joe Straus.

Cook committee hearing closure controversy (2013) [edit]

On June 20, 2013 Byron Cook served as chairman of the House State Affairs Committee hearing on Texas Country Firm Nib lx. Cook'south opinion was for the passing of the bill and during the hearing he interrupted a testimony, maxim "Some of usa do (adopt children)." At 12:00 AM on June 21, Cook decided to shut the hearing prematurely.^[14] Cook'south explanation for breaching Texas State Legislature operating procedures was that the testimonies being heard had become repetitive. Twenty-four minutes later on, Cook became personally offended by a testimony, ordering the cameras to exist shut off and leaving the room of committee members and witnesses. Approximately 20 minutes after, Melt was persuaded by colleagues to resume the hearing and continued listening to testimonies until he prematurely closed the hearing at 1:30 AM.^[15]

2021 quorum bust [edit]

On July 12, 2021, during a special session, at least 51 Autonomous members of the Business firm fled the state in two lease jets bound for Washington, D.C., in an try to block Republican-backed election legislation from passing. The lawmakers plan to spend more than 3 weeks in Washington, running out the clock on the session, which began July 8, and advocating for federal voting legislation such as the For the People Act.^[16]

Governor Abbott was reported as saying that he would arrest the representatives upon return to the land and forcefulness them into omnipresence, and that he would call successive special sessions until the pecker is voted on.^[17] The special session expired on August 6, however Abbott called a second session which began the adjacent day. Country District Judge Brad Urrutia granted a restraining gild on August 9 temporarily protecting the absent Democrats from abort by the state, however this restraining club was voided by the Texas Supreme Court the side by side twenty-four hours.^[18] On August ten, with the chamber still lacking a quorum, Speaker Dade Phelan issued arrest warrants for the 52 absent Democratic members of the House.^[19]
