TEXAS REDISTRICTING
Updates and News about the 2011 Redistricting Cycle in the Lone Star State.
This website's goal is to try to make sure the redistricting process is as transparent and accessible as possible to the public. Hopefully, it will be of some use to a broad range of interested parties, both lawyers and non-lawyers.
Have questions, comments, suggestions, additional content, or a redistricting joke (or two)? Feel free to contact me:

Here’s the court’s order on the interim congressional map:
