Redistricting Hassle Shapes Texas Political Shakeup
The court ruling drives a fresh redistricting fight for Texas House and Senate seats likely in 1965. Four populous counties Harris Dallas Bexar and Tarrant hold about 36 percent of people yet only 13 percent of Senate seats and 23 percent of House seats. The apportionment aims for one senator per ~310000 people and one representative per ~62000, with major shifts in the Senate and counties gaining multiple seats. Lt. Gov. Preston Smith notes potential 300 mile wide districts and heavy counts for Harris Dallas Bexar and Tarrant.
