State Representative Nicole Collier plans to stay in the Texas Capitol until Wednesday in protest against a police escort policy.

Collier is among the Texas House Democrats who broke quorum to block mid-decade congressional redistricting. She and at least 51 other lawmakers left the Capitol to block a map that opponents say would disenfranchise voters and position Republicans to gain five seats in Congress.

Texas Republicans assigned law enforcement to escort specific Democrats to and from the statehouse after dozens left to block a vote on redistricting.

Texas Democrats are back in Austin after they broke quorum two weeks ago in protest of the state's redistricting plan. State Representative Nicole Collier refused to leave the House chambers on Monday.

A Texas lawmaker found herself effectively stuck in her seat Monday, planted on the House floor after refusing to sign a political "permission slip"—a GOP-mandated form requiring Department of Public Safety escorts for Democrats who broke quorum over redistricting.

House Speaker Dustin Burrows said Monday that Democrats who previously left the state could not leave the chamber unless they agreed to having a DPS escort. Collier refused one and must remain in the chamber.
