Texas redistricting panel reshapes Senate and House maps
A three judge panel approved new Texas Senate and House maps reshaping political balance. The Senate could tilt to 19 Republicans of 31 seats, while 88 of 150 House seats may go GOP. Speaker Pete Laney faces three GOP challengers in 2003 as the party controls the legislature remains contested. The ruling ends the decade long redistricting push begun after the 2000 Census.
