The Texas State Capitol was evacuated after threats tied to Democrat Rep. Nicole Collier urged armed action. DPS has identified a suspect but no arrest has been made.

Texas state representative Nicole Collier (D) compared herself and her peers to runaway slaves, as well as Jews during the Holocaust this week.

Texas Democrats don’t have the power to stop Trump’s gerrymander, but they can find new and sensational ways to make sure all eyes are on it.

Texas Republicans mandated that Democratic lawmakers not be allowed to leave the state house without a permission slip and a police escort.

A Democratic state lawmaker who fled Texas in protest of a GOP redistricting effort is asking a court to let her exit the Capitol, after she was told she needs a police escort to leave the building.

Texas Republicans insisted that Democrats have around-the-clock police escorts to ensure they wouldn’t leave again.

Shortly after, a protest formed inside the Capitol with chants in support of Collier, including four women sitting outside the doors of the chamber Monday night surrounded by dozens of Texas DPS officers. An officer told them, "If you do not leave, you're subject to arrest for trespassing," and then they were handcuffed and taken into custody.
