A Texas lawmaker found herself effectively stuck in her seat Monday, planted on the House floor after refusing to sign a political "permission slip"-a GOP-mandated form requiring Department of Public Safety escorts for Democrats who broke quorum over redistricting.

State Rep. Nicole Collier of Fort Worth on Monday said she will remain locked in the Austin statehouse chamber until the House reconvenes on Wednesday morning. She is making the move after she refused conditions set by Republican leaders that would have required her to sign off on a law enforcement escort before being allowed to go home after Monday's session.

Texas Republicans assigned law enforcement to escort specific Democrats to and from the statehouse after dozens left to block a vote on redistricting.
