Rick HasenVerified account

Court holds that TX-27 and TX-35 need to be redrawn (but we already knew that because they were carryovers from 2011 plan). #txlege

Court holds no further changes need to be made to TX-23 (Hurd district) - but . . . #txlege

But changes to TX-23 conceivably are still possible as result of dismantling of TX-35. #txlege

Court also rejects claims for new opportunity congressional districts in DFW region and Harris County. #txlege

But big finding in ruling is of intentional discrimination in 2013 map. Will be relevant to question of bail in. #txlege

Court orders state to say within three business days whether #txlege will redraw congressional map.

If state declines to redistrict, court has scheduled hearing for 9/5 in San Antonio on remedial plans. #txlege

Of note, the court has not enjoined use of the current plan, so order for now is not appealable. #txlege
