Can lawmakers be arrested for fleeing the state?
Texas House rules state that absent legislators can be arrested
by the sergeant-at-arms
or
somebody appointed by the sergeant-at-arms
and
returned to the House floor.
Because of this rule
Texas Democrats looking to break quorum
travel out of state
where Texas officers lack jurisdiction.
An order to arrest House members
must be voted on
by a majority of lawmakers present after quorum has been broken.
