House Redistricting Committee

The House Committee on Redistricting is responsible for overseeing the equitable and transparent drawing of legislative, congressional, and judicial district maps in Texas. Chaired by Representative Drew Darby, this committee is composed of a diverse group of members from both political parties, actively engaging with public testimony and expert insights to ensure fair representation. Key efforts include evaluating House Bill 731, which establishes an independent redistricting commission aimed at minimizing partisanship and improving fairness in district composition. Recent bills under consideration, such as SB 375 and HB 1000, address the structure and apportionment of districts while also acknowledging community demographics and interests. The committee holds regular meetings to review progress and gather feedback from constituents, reflecting a commitment to upholding democratic principles in the redistricting process.
