Notable controversies [edit]

Firm voting controversy [edit]

On May xiv, 2007, CBS Austin affiliate KEYE reported on multiple voting by representatives during House floor sessions.^[12] The report noted how representatives register votes for absent members on the House'southward automated voting machines. Each representative would vote for the nearest absent members (evidently regardless of party affiliation). This practice was in direct violation of a Rule of the House; even so, no representative had e'er been disciplined for the practice in the most seventy 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 individual members.

Craddick removal controversy [edit]

Chaos erupted in the Texas House of Representatives on Friday, May 25, 2007, when Rep. Fred Loma, R-Richardson, attempted to offer a motility to remove Tom Craddick every bit Speaker and have the House elect a new speaker. Craddick (as well a Republican) refused to allow him to make the motion.^[13] The attempts to oust Craddick continued through the weekend as other Republicans made additional motions, which were too disallowed.

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

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

Melt committee hearing closure controversy (2013) [edit]

On June 20, 2013 Byron Cook served as chairman of the House Country Affairs Committee hearing on Texas Country House Bill lx. Cook's opinion was for the passing of the bill and during the hearing he interrupted a testimony, saying "Some of u.s. exercise (adopt children)." At 12:00 AM on June 21, Melt decided to close the hearing prematurely.^[14] Cook's 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 be close off and leaving the room of committee members and witnesses. Approximately twenty minutes subsequently, Cook was persuaded past 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 Democratic members of the House fled the state in ii charter jets bound for Washington, D.C., in an effort to block Republican-backed election legislation from passing. The lawmakers plan to spend more than three 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 render to the state and strength 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 next day. State District Judge Brad Urrutia granted a restraining order on August 9 temporarily protecting the absent Democrats from arrest by the state, all the same this restraining order was voided by the Texas Supreme Court the next day.^[18] On Baronial 10, with the chamber nevertheless lacking a quorum, Speaker Dade Phelan issued arrest warrants for the 52 absent Autonomous members of the House.^[nineteen]
