We're prepared to bring this battle back to Texas under the right conditions and to take this fight to the courts,” said Caucus Chair Gene Wu of Houston in a statement.

The leader of Democrats in the Texas House said the battle over restricting, which could determine control of Congress, is likely to continue in the courts.
