Supreme Court appeal on Texas redistricting plan
AUSTIN AP The Texas Supreme Court will hear whether the states redistricting bill is valid after Attorney General Crawford Martin said he will appeal Judge Herman Jones decision that the plan violates the Texas Constitution. Jones halted state actions and the secretary of state from moving on the plan. The case stems from Midland Republican Rep. Tom Craddick and the so-called Dirty 30 coalition which opposed the leadership and saw Midland County split for districts. If ruled unconstitutional, a special session to redraw districts is likely. The appeal process could take weeks with briefs and responses.
