Relating to the establishment of the Texas Redistricting Commission to redistrict Texas congressional districts.

HB 293 establishes a Texas Redistricting Commission to redraw congressional district boundaries following each U.S. Census. The bill creates specific selection rules, requiring applicants to have no recent political ties (e.g., not holding office, working for parties/candidates, or lobbying within 10 years) and prohibiting conflicts of interest involving family members or government officials. This commission would directly affect all Texas voters by determining congressional district lines, which influence representation in the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill focuses on procedural structure rather than specific district maps or outcomes.
