The 2021 Texas Democrats Walkouts are a series of walkouts by the Texas Democrats House Members in opposition to Senate Bill 7, a controversial election bill. That began on May 30, 2021, near the end of the 87th Texas Legislative Session, when Texas Democrats Members of the House, left the Texas State Capitol building to break quorum. On June 22, 2021, a special session was announced by Governor Greg Abbott. On 12 July 2021, during the special session, 51 of the 67 Texas House Democrats walked out of the Texas State Capitol and went to Washington D.C.

Texas House Democrats have last broke quorum in 2003, due to the 2003 Texas redistricting.
