Bill Summary

Relating to the composition of the districts for the election of members of the United States House of Representatives from the State of Texas.

AI Summary

This bill relates to redrawing the congressional districts for the State of Texas, establishing 38 distinct congressional districts for the 2026 and subsequent elections. The bill provides a comprehensive, detailed breakdown of each district's geographical boundaries, specifying exactly which counties and specific census tract blocks are included in each district. Each district is carefully constructed to define precise geographic areas using 2020 Census TIGER/Line Shapefiles, ensuring accuracy in the district delineations. The new district map will apply to the primary and general elections for the 120th Congress, effectively replacing the previous congressional district map. The bill includes provisions that if any geographic area is inadvertently omitted, courts should use legislative intent to place that area in the appropriate district. The legislation requires a two-thirds majority vote to take immediate effect, otherwise it will become effective 91 days after the legislative session ends. Notably, this redistricting plan does not affect the membership of the 119th Congress, but will be fully implemented for the 120th Congress elections in 2026.
