Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Texas, the state legislature is responsible for redistricting, as stated in the Texas Constitution. Specifically, the Texas House of Representatives and Texas Senate are responsible for drawing new district lines for the state, congressional, and their own legislative districts every 10 years following the decennial census. While the governor may veto a redistricting plan, it is ultimately up to the state legislature to enact the new maps. The courts may get involved if there is a legal challenge to the redistricting plan, but they are not the primary body responsible for redistricting in Texas. County courts at law do not have jurisdiction over state-level redistricting.
