2020 Texas Maps

Last Updated Oct 22, 2021
Cycle 2020

Overview

Texas’ congressional lines are drawn by the state legislature, as a regular statute, subject to gubernatorial veto. The legislature is also primarily responsible for drawing state legislative lines. If it fails to pass a plan, authority falls to a five-member backup commission.

The legislature adopted congressional and state legislative maps on Oct. 18. Gov. Abbott signed the maps into law on Oct. 25, 2021.
