Blacks seek greater influence in Texas Senate redistricting
Dallas and Fort Worth Black leaders urged the Legislative Redistricting Board to create a Dallas County 23rd senatorial district at about 70 percent minority and to consolidate Fort Worth blacks and Hispanics into a single district. They argued current lines undercut minority representation while noting parts of Districts 10 and 12 would shift toward Anglo majorities. The board must redraw districts by Oct. 28 amid court strikes on House plans.
