Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas I commend and thank Chairman Solomons the Redistricting Committee and the House members for the extraordinarily long hours and dedication they have put into passing a fair and legal Congressional map said Texas House Speaker Joe Straus (R-San Antonio) following final House passage of Senate Bill 4 the Congressional Redistricting Bill.
I am particularly pleased that we have passed all four redistricting maps required this year said Speaker Straus. The members provided much input and direction on maps that reflect the population changes in our state.
The redistricting map for the State Board of Education (HB 600) is now law. The House (HB 150) and Senate (SB 31) redistricting maps were simultaneously passed and now await the Governors signature.
