Proposing a constitutional amendment establishing the Texas Redistricting Commission to redistrict the United States House of Representatives and the Texas Legislature.
HJR 22 proposes a constitutional amendment to replace Texas' current Legislative Redistricting Board with a new Texas Redistricting Commission. The commission would be responsible for redistricting Texas' U.S. House of Representatives seats and both chambers of the Texas Legislature, taking effect January 1, 2030. The bill specifies that the commission must create redistricting plans following the federal census, with its first meeting scheduled for early 2031. This change would abolish the existing redistricting board and require voter approval through a May 2026 election.
