Democrats early Wednesday said they were given credible information that Republicans had arranged a plan that would have resulted in the arrest of at least one of the Democrats in Laredo. During the just-ended session, the Senate was one member short of the attendance needed to conduct business.

Democrats would not reveal the information, but said they were advised not to return to Texas by a Republican colleague.

"We spent a month of our lives on this," Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos, D-Austin, said. "We're not about to make a silly mistake."

A spokesman for Gov. Rick Perry, however, said there was no plot against the Democrats.

"It appears the senators in New Mexico have been watching too many pay-per-view movies in their hotel rooms," said Gene Acuña. "That is such a laughable scenario, it's not worthy of response."
