Whitmire said the Democrats left the Capitol after receiving word Monday morning that the first session would be shut down a day early and that the governor would immediately order a subsequent session to convene.
Whitmire said that Democrats -- who had prepared a contingency plan that included two chartered planes -- feared that Dewhurst would then have moved quickly to order the Senate doors locked to prevent a walkout.

they were gonna shut down special session1 a day early, and declare special session2 so they could lock 'em in the building.
