Declare the seats vacant and appoint new reps
Because they are vacant seats, on purpose, they fled in order to not do their jobs and prevent government from functioning, its sabotage
Then rewrite house rules so that anyone dojng this is considered to be vacating their eat, and the governor can appoint new reps and special elections can be scheduled, if desired
The Texas Constitution doesn’t allow for that. So is it ok to shred the Constitution to get the result you want?
The Texas Constitution does contain the answer though:
“Sec. 10. QUORUM; ADJOURNMENTS FROM DAY TO DAY; COMPELLING ATTENDANCE. Two-thirds of each House shall constitute a quorum to do business, but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day, and compel the attendance of absent members, in such manner and under such penalties as each House may provide.”
Sounds like fun but think carefully about what you said.
We scream (and rightfully so) when democrats rewrite the rules for their benefit, so should we do it?

PS - I would rather have the government do nothing rather than keep making more and ore rules.
