By Gareth Vipers and Elizabeth Findell

Texas Democrats ended a two-week walkout over Republican plans to redraw the state's congressional map.

Dozens of House Democrats fled the state earlier this month in an attempt to thwart a Republican redistricting effort that would result in the GOP gaining five new seats.

Texas House Democrats Monday confirmed they were back in Austin and ready to end their 15-day quorum-break, after encouraging states such as California to take measures to counter Texas's proposed redistricting.

Updates to follow as news develops.
