A proposed map reshapes Baytown's federal representation. Baytown would be divided between redrawn District 29 and parts of the 9th District, with central Baytown leaving District 25 to District 22. The plan, approved by the Texas House, would end Chris Bell and Nick Lampson’s eligibility in their current districts unless they move.
