A Republican plan for the Texas Senate Democrats
Republicans are thinking about compelling 2 or 3 Democrats to testify before the a Senate committee.

(The quorum for a committe is only majority.)

If they don't show up, a warrant for Contempt of Legislature will be put out.

This is a Class A misdemeanor in Texas and the Republicans plan to fully prosecute.

2. They would have to serve the summons
If they can't find them they can't serve them.
