I remember reading recently that if a second session was called, there might be a real problem getting folks to show up. Just how powerful is a Texas Governor, can the Texas Rangers be called out to round up legislators?

If Perry actually WANTS to deal with Sanctuary Cities, I have no doubt he’ll get enough people to show up to take care of the problem.
Of course I don’t expect that outcome...
Several years ago the Dems in the Texas legislature all left the State and went to Oklahoma to prevent the presence of a quorum required for voting on bills. Very similar to what happened this year in Wisconsin and Indiana.
They spent a couple of weeks lounging around the pools and bars at their hotels/motels.
The Gov obtained warrants and Texas Rangers were used to force the Dems to return to Austin to do the jobs they were elected to do.
I don’t recall what the major issue was at the time.
