Work started Friday afternoon on the second special session at the Texas State Capitol. But when the roll call took place in the Texas House, not enough members were in attendance to conduct business.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday called a second special session to push through a redrawing of congressional maps to secure up to five more Republican seats in the US House.
