Texas Democrat Nicole Collier still locked in the capitol for refusing surveillance escort

Texas House Democrat Nicole Collier spent Monday night inside the capitol building, alone. Collier, who represents a district that includes part of Fort Worth, had refused to sign a permission slip allowing a Department of Public Safety officer to personally follow her around until the conclusion of the Texas Legislature's second special session. House Speaker Dustin Burrows ordered all Democrats who broke quorum during the first session to sign permission slips authorizing a personal surveillance escort, intended to ensure they wouldn't flee the state again as the GOP-led redistricting battle rages on.
