Texas enacted legislative district boundaries in June 2023 for use until the 2030 census due to legal concerns that the state’s 2021 districts could not be permanent since they were adopted in a special legislative session. The Texas Constitution requires that redistricting take place during a regular legislative session.
The districts the state adopted this month were the same as those the state enacted in October 2021. Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signed HB 1000—establishing state House district boundaries—on June 12, and he allowed SB 375—establishing state Senate district boundaries—to become law without his signature on June 18.
A note at the top of the home page for Texas Redistricting stated: “The districts identified in these acts are the same as the current districts and continue to apply to future elections along with the current congressional (PlanC2193) and State Board of Education districts (PlanE2106).”
