Texas Amendment Seeks Fairer House Representation
A proposed constitutional amendment limits county seats by population in the Texas House, allowing no more than seven members per county except cities over 700,000 with one extra seat per 100,000 over that threshold. It aims to curb urban dominance and ensure rural counties receive fair treatment in state legislation. Voters will decide in November with a yes vote urged.
