More than 50 Texas House Democrats left the state Sunday to prevent a quorum in the state House of Representatives to move forward on a bill that would set new congressional districts​.

On Wednesday, the hotel in Chicago, Illinois, where Texas State Representatives were staying, received a bomb threat and was evacuated, according to Rep. John Bucy.

A second threat was reported Friday at the suburban Chicago hotel and convention center that was housing Texas Democrats in Illinois while battling a redistricting controversy.
