The Texas House
of Representatives Committee on Redistricting has jurisdiction over all matters
pertaining to state legislative districts, congressional districts, and
establishing districts for the election of judicial officers or of governing
bodies or representatives of political subdivisions or state agencies as
required by law; and preparations for the redistricting process. Records of the
Texas House of Representatives Committee on Redistricting reflect the
reassessment of legislative, congressional, judicial, and educational district
boundaries as necessitated by the 2000 United States Census according to
federal and Texas state laws and the Texas Constitution. Records include
meeting notices, agenda, minutes, transcripts, handouts, witness affirmations,
testimony, petitions, correspondence, memorandums, notes, maps, plans, reports,
legal cases, legislative bills, audiocassettes, videotapes, and computer disks,
dating 1971-2001, undated, bulk 1990-1992, 2000-2001. Representative Delwin
Jones (R-Lubbock) served as chair of the 11 member committee during the 73rd
through 77th Legislatures when the majority of these records were created.
Included are a significant quantity of files from the committee when
Representative Jones was vice-chair during the 71st and 72nd Legislatures,
concerning redistricting after the 1990 U.S. Census.
These materials are written predominately in
English with scattered
Spanish throughout.

Agency History The
Texas House of Representatives is one arm of the Legislature of the State of
Texas (the other being the Texas Senate), which the Texas Constitution (Article
III, Section 1) vests with all legislative power of the state. The primary
legislative power is enacting laws, and the most visible function of the
legislature is to make public policy through drafting, considering, and passing
bills and resolutions. Biennially, the House of Representatives elects a
speaker from its membership to serve as its presiding officer. The House of
Representatives consists of 150 representatives elected in even-numbered years
for two-year terms. A representative must be at least twenty-one years old, a
qualified voter, and a resident of Texas for at least two years and of the
district represented for at least one year immediately preceding election.
In addition to legislative powers, the legislature exercises other types of
authority. Constituent powers include the ability to alter the state
constitution, and the members' authority to exercise powers of attorney in
behalf of their constituents. Directory and supervisory powers allow the
legislature to regulate the state's administrative machinery, made up of
boards, commissions, and departments that conduct the affairs of state. The
legislature establishes and funds these bodies and defines their functions.
Executive powers of each house include selection of legislative officers,
employees, and chairs and members of committees. Investigative powers are
exercised through the formation of standing, special, interim, and joint
committees to study an issue. House committees are usually charged with a
particular purpose by the speaker, although this may also be accomplished by a
resolution adopted by the house. Each legislative house holds judicial powers
over its members, including punishing or expelling members for cause.
The
legislature meets in regular session on the second Tuesday in January of
odd-numbered years and in special sessions when convened by the governor. The
length of the regular session is limited to 140 days. Special sessions are
limited to 30 days, but the number of special sessions that may be called is
not limited. Only legislative matters submitted by the governor may be
considered in special session. All legislative sessions, except for the
senate's executive session, are open. Neither house may, without the consent of
the other, adjourn for more than three days or move to a place other than where
the legislature is sitting. Two-thirds of each house constitutes a quorum, the
number of members required to conduct business. If a quorum is not present, a
smaller number may vote to adjourn and compel absent members to attend. The
house is required to keep and publish a journal of its proceedings and to
record the vote on any question on which three members who are present demand
an actual count of yeas and nays.
The House of Representatives functions
through committees set up under its own rules. The house maintains more
standing committees than the senate. By custom the speaker appoints standing,
special, and conference committees, although the house is free to designate its
own method of selection. Under the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1961, the
committee system was expanded, and provisions were made whereby standing,
special, and general investigating committees created by each body could
function whether or not the legislature was in session. As of 2011, the house
has 36 standing committees:
- Agriculture and Livestock
- Appropriations
- Border and International Affairs
- Business and Industry

- Corrections
- County Affairs

Committee on
RedistrictingThe Texas House of Representatives Committee on
Redistricting has jurisdiction over all matters pertaining to legislative
districts, both house and senate, and any changes or amendments; congressional
districts, their creation, and any changes or amendments; establishing
districts for the election of judicial officers or of governing bodies or
representatives of political subdivisions or state agencies as required by law;
and preparations for the redistricting process. Redistricting entails the
revision of existing districts into new districts with different geographical
boundaries. The Texas Constitution (Article III, Section 28) requires the
legislature to redistrict seats in the Texas House of Representatives and
Senate during its first regular session after publication of each United States
decennial census, which occurs in each year ending in zero. The U.S.
Constitution (Article I, Section 2) calls for reapportionment of congressional
seats according to population from a decennial census. Texas state law (Senate
Bill 2, 72nd Legislature, 2nd Called Session, 1991) provides for a decennial
reapportionment of State Board of Education boundaries, and the Texas
Constitution (
Article V, Section 7a
) and state law (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 24.941 et seq.)
provide for a statewide reapportionment of judicial districts within three
years of the federal decennial census. As a result of these provisions, the
73rd through 77th Legislatures were involved in redistricting the boundaries
for the Texas House of Representatives and Senate, the U.S. Congress, the State
Board of Education, and the state's judicial districts, after the 1990 and the
2000 U.S. Census.
The basic purpose of decennial redistricting is to
equalize population in state and congressional districts after publication of
the federal census indicates an increase, decrease, or shift in population
location. Two primary requirements govern all redistricting decisions. First,
districts of a given type (Texas House of Representatives and Senate, U.S.
Congress, State Board of Education) must have equal or nearly equal
populations; and, second, districts must be drawn in a manner that does not
have the purpose, and will not have the effect, of denying or abridging the
right to vote on the basis of race or language group. These requirements are
based on the guarantees of the Fourteenth (the equal protection provision) and
Fifteenth (prohibiting voting discrimination because of race) Amendments to the
U.S. Constitution, the federal Voting Rights Act, and Article I, Section 2 of
the U.S. Constitution.
During the 76th Legislature (1999), the committee
was charged to gather information regarding the existence and location of
communities of interest to be considered in the creation of legislative,
congressional and state board of education districts; to monitor related
federal developments, including those affecting the conduct of the 2000 federal
census and enforcement of the Voting Rights Act; to coordinate with the Texas
Legislative Council the development of software applications and support
services relating to redistricting for the 77th Legislature; and to conduct
public hearings in appropriate locations to obtain public input on all issues
relating to the redistricting of legislative, congressional, and State Board of
Education districts following the release of the federal census in 2001.
The regular session of the 77th Legislature adjourned on May 28, 2001,
without adopting a senate, house, congressional, or State Board of Education
redistricting plan. The Legislative Redistricting Board (LRB) convened on June
6 and adopted plans for the senate and the house, which were submitted to the
U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for preclearance under Section 5 of the Voting
Rights Act of 1965. While the LRB's senate plan (PLAN01188S) was eventually
upheld by the federal district court, legal challenges were made to its house
plan. The DOJ denied preclearance of the LRB house plan on November 16, and on
November 28 the federal district court put in place a new house district plan
(PLAN01369H), which modified the LRB house plan to address the DOJ's
objections.
In December 2000, three legal challenges were filed in Travis
County district court regarding congressional redistricting in Texas. After the
regular session of the 77th Legislature concluded, the governor did not call a
special session to consider congressional redistricting. On November 14, the
federal district court issued an order adopting congressional districts
(PLAN01151C) for the 2002 elections.
Legal challenges were filed against
the old State Board of Education (SBOE) districts, and on November 2, 2001, the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas issued an order adopting
new SBOE districts based on the 2000 federal census (PLAN01018E) for the 2002
elections.

The Texas House of
Representatives Committee on Redistricting has jurisdiction over all matters
pertaining to state legislative districts, congressional districts, and
establishing districts for the election of judicial officers or of governing
bodies or representatives of political subdivisions or state agencies as
required by law; and preparations for the redistricting process. Public hearing
files of the House Committee on Redistricting document open meetings held by
the committee at the State Capitol in Austin, and regionally throughout Texas,
to conduct committee business, consider legislation, and solicit public opinion
on redistricting matters, and consist of meeting notices, agenda, minutes,
transcripts, handouts, witness affirmations, testimony, petitions,
correspondence, maps, reports, audiocassettes, videotapes, and a computer disk,
dating 1979-1983, 1989-1992, 2000-2001, bulk 1990-1991, 2000-2001.
The
majority of these files are of committee public hearings held in Austin during
1991 and 2001, and regional hearings held in 1990 and 2000. Minutes for some
committee public hearings held between 1979 and 1992 are also included. Hearing
files previous to 2000 were likely maintained by Representative Delwin Jones
when he was vice-chair of the committee, from 1989 to 1992. Most of the maps
are computer-generated maps produced for the committee by the Texas Legislative
Council and illustrate proposed changes to districts. Data available to the
legislature for redistricting considerations includes census data consisting of
voting age, total population by race/ethnicity for counties, Voting Tabulation
Districts (voting precinct approximation), census blocks, and election history
information; proposals by interest groups; and legislators' requests. The
series Research files also contains some hearing
materials.
Organization These records have been organized by State
Archives staff into two groups, each arranged chronologically:

The Texas House of
Representatives Committee on Redistricting has jurisdiction over all matters
pertaining to state legislative districts, congressional districts, and
establishing districts for the election of judicial officers or of governing
bodies or representatives of political subdivisions or state agencies as
required by law; and preparations for the redistricting process. The
committee's communication files document exchanges among committee members, and
between the committee and government agencies, political and advocacy
organizations, and the public, in memorandums and correspondence dating
1999-2001, during the 76th and 77th Legislatures. Frequent state government
correspondents are the Texas Legislative Council and the Texas Legislative
Redistricting Board.
Arrangement These records are arranged in the order in which
they arrived from the committee.

The Texas House of
Representatives Committee on Redistricting has jurisdiction over all matters
pertaining to state legislative districts, congressional districts, and
establishing districts for the election of judicial officers or of governing
bodies or representatives of political subdivisions or state agencies as
required by law; and preparations for the redistricting process. Research files
of the committee demonstrate their efforts to gather relevant information
regarding redistricting issues from state and national government sources,
legal cases, and news media, and to analyze redistricting data compiled by the
Texas Legislative Council, in order to develop legislation for the
redistricting process. Types of records include correspondence, memoranda,
notes, reports, legal cases, maps, plans, legislative bills, hearing materials,
audiocassettes, and videotapes, dating 1971-1992, 2000-2001, bulk 1989-1991,
2001. Data available to the legislature for redistricting considerations
includes census data consisting of voting age, total population by
race/ethnicity for counties, Voting Tabulation Districts (voting precinct
approximation), census blocks, and election history information; proposals by
interest groups; and legislators' requests.
Research files previous to
2000 were likely maintained by Representative Delwin Jones when he was
vice-chair of the committee, from 1989 to 1992. These files contain
redistricting maps and plans that are accompanied by other types of material,
such as correspondence, notes, and reports. See the series
Redistricting maps and plans for maps and plans
without accompanying materials.

The Texas House of
Representatives Committee on Redistricting has jurisdiction over all matters
pertaining to state legislative districts, congressional districts, and
establishing districts for the election of judicial officers or of governing
bodies or representatives of political subdivisions or state agencies as
required by law; and preparations for the redistricting process. Redistricting
maps and plans for the 1990s and 2000s cycles of redistricting graphically
illustrate the committee's attempts to delineate voting districts and date
1990-1995, 2001, bulk 1995, 2001. Data available to the legislature for
redistricting considerations includes census data consisting of voting age,
total population by race/ethnicity for counties, Voting Tabulation Districts
(voting precinct approximation), census blocks, and election history
information; proposals by interest groups; and legislators' requests.
Redistricting maps and plans previous to 2001 were likely maintained by
Representative Delwin Jones when he was vice-chair of the committee, from 1989
to 1992. These files contain redistricting plans and maps without accompanying
materials. See the series Research files for maps
and plans that are accompanied by other types of material, such as
correspondence, notes, and reports.
Arrangement These records
are arranged in roughly chronological order by State Archives staff.
