Democratic state Rep. Nicole Collier says she remains locked in the House chamber because she wouldn't sign a permission slip to be under escort by the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Sounds like she and her colleagues got what they wanted out of the situation so what’s the problem? They came back to give the Republicans the quorum that they need to pass the redistricting after putting on a good show to keep up the kayfabe. If she really wanted out she could just pull the fire alarm or have one of her aides let her out.
