Five legislative district proposals, all giving Baytown its own seat in the Texas Legislature, were presented to the House Redistricting Committee. Harris County figures show Baytown as the population center in four plans north to Montgomery County and south past the Ship Channel, with incumbent Joe Allen in all. Gammage notes urban single-member districts face slim chances of approval, as chair Delwin Jones opposes them.

Transfer Ban Likely For 1971 72 School Year
Baytown school officials warn a court ruling may stop all student transfers into Baytown for the 1971-72 year. Supt. Johnny Clark says federal officials want TEA to block transfers that alter racial balance, while TEA says it lacks authority. June 14 court hearing could dictate policy as Crosby transfers face desegregation concerns and budget balanced districts like Deer Park and Barbers Hill bear higher costs.
