My guess is if state officials look hard enough, they can find a "job abandonment" or "failure to perform" state law that would allow for their replacement. Once these legislators see they might very well lose their elected offices---they'll hitch a ride on the back of tomato truck if thats what it takes to keep their power. After all---the only thing a Democrat really cares about is having power over "the little people". I'd look closely at the emergency powers granted to a governor. They tend to be quit broad. Given the state of the border----I think you could make a case that there is a border emergency that needs to be addressed and that is part of the Special Session.
