Join us and Acres Homes Community Advocacy Group along with partners on Oct 2nd to learn about this new congressional district map + how it will impact our communities heading into upcoming elections.

Tarrant County has had so much growth over the past two decades with much of it driven by communities of color. The "extra round" of redistricting we just went through however, threatens to stifle their voting power: www.texastribune.org/2025/09/02/t...

In rapidly diversifying Tarrant County, a summer of GOP redistricting hits Black and Latino representation

Despite explosive growth turning Tarrant into a racially diverse swing county, two new political maps will leave it with whiter, more Republican representation.

What we’re witnessing has terrible significance for the people of Texas but we will continue to fight with everything we have to draw attention to this injustice, demonstrate public support, and exert pressure on those in power. We’re not done. #txlege #gerrymandering #riggedmap #redistricting

To catch you up: Earlier this evening the House adopted the map, 88 to 52, along party lines. www.texastribune.org/2025/08/20/t... #txlege #texasredistricting

Texas House approves GOP congressional map after two-week delay from Democrats’ walkout

Republican lawmakers are pursuing the unusual mid-decade redistricting plan amid pressure from President Donald Trump to protect the GOP’s slim majority in the U.S. House.

Any #txlege redistricting process should be fair and fully transparent, taking into account the needs and feedback of the communities directly involved. But that’s not what we have here. What Texans are being subjected to is a farce and that’s devastating when the potential damage is all too real.

If state leaders were actually listening, they would know by now that Texans don’t want a redistricting process that draws us out of our own electoral power and out of fair representation. We’ve BEEN saying it. #txlege

Our Governor has said the unconstitutional congressional map the Legislature attempted to push through the first special session will be a top priority going into this second one. #txlege www.texastribune.org/2025/08/15/t... #fairmaps #stopgerrymandering

Abbott calls second special session as first round ends with Democrats still out of state

"I think what we're seeing here, and what we're witnessing in this redistricting proposal and the midterm cycle, is what I would call a master class in demographic manipulation." - Michael O. Adams, a political science professor at Texas Southern University www.npr.org/2025/08/15/n... #txlege

In Houston, some worry their problems would be neglected after redistricting

In one neighborhood of the city, Latinos worry about immigration and urban problems but may soon be grouped in with suburban voters.

The fight is on. How redistricting could unfold in 8 entangled states

State leaders in both parties say they're ready to redraw political lines ahead of 2026, but state laws and constitutions make mid-decade redistricting virtually impossible in many places.

The way we draw districts can have dramatic effect when it comes to our ability to have community needs met. SB 4 is a map that splinters our communities, making impactful representation even harder for Texans. Thank you @commoncausetexas.bsky.social for speaking out. #txlege #fairmaps

This push to redraw congressional districts using five year old data comes at the request of the White House to "help Republicans maintain control of the U.S. House in the 2026 midterms."

Texas redistricting standoff puts preparations for March primary at risk

New maps would mean months of work for election officials, and key deadlines are approaching. Says one official: “Who knows if we’ll have enough time?”

GOP's Texas map has Austin residents sharing district with rural Texans 300 miles away

It would "suppress the votes of Black and brown Austinites," one Democrat said.

Falkenberg: Democrats fleeing redistricting didn’t abandon us. Abbott did.

Gov. Greg Abbott is suing to remove state Rep. Gene Wu from office for leading a Democrat walkout over Trump's redistricting plan. But Texans know who really abandoned us.

Here in Texas, the Senate is pushing ahead with an agenda set forth not by the people of our state. The Senate's Special Committee on Congressional Redistricting will meet to take up SB 4 on Thursday.

While our current district maps by no means serve our communities or reflect our growth as a state, HB 4 seeks to make a bad situation even worse. Members of the Fair Maps Texas coalition joined up with other Texans last Friday to speak out against it. #fairmaps #txlege

Shouldn’t be hard, right? And yet after a series of public hearings where Texans voiced overwhelming opposition to any mid-decade redistricting that seeks to draw us even further out of our own voting power, lawmakers advanced a bill that would do precisely that. #txlege
