The most well-known quorum break involving the Texas Legislature is probably the one executed in 1979 by the so-called "Killer Bees" over a presidential primary bill. But the journals of the House and Senate document numerous other quorum breaks over the years, some more notable than others. Cf. John Brockman, "Railroads, Radicals, and the Militia Bill: A New Interpretation of the Quorum-Breaking Incident of 1870" ''The Southwestern Historical Quarterly'', 83:2 [https://www.jstor.org/stable/30238628 105] (1979). | The most well-known quorum break involving the Texas Legislature is probably the one executed in 1979 by the so-called "Killer Bees" over a presidential primary bill.
