I just looked at the relevant Texas rules. Only the Senate can vote on expulsion of a Senator and that requires a 2/3 vote of all members, not just all members present. In any event, to my understanding of Rule 5.02 requires a quorum for the Senate to conduct any business.

Expulsion and impeachment are two different things. But a prior poster has pointed out that the "replacement-by-the-governor-pending-trial" part of my "nuclear option" isn't even applicable to state senators, only to higher-up statewide officials ... so it's a moot point.
