Many seats empty in Texas legislature after Democrats fled to Washington. This morning Republicans formally asked sergeant at arms to round them up with arrest warrants if necessary. But DC is far outside of state’s jurisdiction. NBCDFW.com

@ScottGordonNBC5 Important to note- Texas legislator's total pay for a two-year term being $45,340. Most of them have regular jobs, so fleeing to DC is costing them money. They are true patriots.
