101

Number of days the Texas House of Representatives has had 150 members since the 84th Legislature convened on January 13, 2015, out of 563 days. Just two of those 101 days occurred while the House was in session. The HD120 special runoff election will once again bring the House to 150 members once the winner has been sworn into office (assuming no one leaves office before then).
