Texas Republicans tried again to reconvene the House on Monday for a vote on redrawing congressional maps in their party's favor, an effort that already sparked a national political brawl and prompted Democratic lawmakers to leave the state to deny Republicans the quorum they need.

Members of the Texas House of Representatives will attempt once again to meet a quorum Monday, more than a week into a standoff after Democrats left the state to block a GOP-led redistricting effort.

The battle over mid-decade redistricting in Texas -- where the state’s congressional lines could be redrawn well ahead of the upcoming census -- continues Monday.
