Case Information

** This case has been consolidated with LULAC v. Abbott. Further updates will be posted to that case page. **

Federal lawsuit challenging Texas’s newly redrawn state Senate map has been filed by a coalition of Latino and African-American Texans, along with a state senator. They claim the plan, which alters Texas Senate District 10 and divides Tarrant County, discriminates against minority voters in violation of the Voting Rights Act and the Constitution.
