Speaker signs civil arrest warrant for Texas Democrats who returned to Washington

By Cassandra Pollock, The Texas TribuneTexas House Speaker Dade Phelan, R-Beaumont, signed a civil warrant for the arrest of state Rep. Philip Cortez, a San Antonio Democrat who rejoined his colleagues in Washington, D.C., on Sunday to help prevent the passage of a GOP-backed election bill. The warrant is not likely to have impact since Texas law enforcement lacks jurisdiction outside the state. Other Democrats criticized Cortez’s move, saying the lawmaker did not first consult with them before returning to Austin. Other Republicans applauded Phelan for signing the warrant, including state Rep. Jeff Leach of Plano, who had questioned the night before why Cortez wasn’t arrested before leaving the state. After Democrats left the state, the House voted overwhelmingly to issue what’s known as a “call of the House” in an effort to regain quorum.
