HB 4 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025)

Relating to the composition of the districts for the election of members of the United States House of Representatives from the State of Texas.

HB 4 establishes new congressional district boundaries for Texas' U.S. House elections, effective September 5, 2025. It directly affects Texas voters by determining which geographic areas elect their U.S. representatives in the next election cycle. The bill implements the redistricting plan approved by the Texas Legislature, replacing the previous district map used for congressional elections. This is a procedural change to voting district lines, not a substantive policy.
