Proposing a constitutional amendment establishing the Independent Citizen Redistricting Commission to redistrict the Texas Legislature, Texas congressional districts, and State Board of Education districts and revising procedures for redistricting.

HJR 26 proposes a constitutional amendment to create an Independent Citizen Redistricting Commission that would redraw Texas legislative, congressional, and State Board of Education districts following each U.S. census. The Commission, composed of 14 members including five from the majority party (as defined by the bill), must be appointed by December 31 of the census year and will conduct a transparent, public process for drawing district lines. It must follow specific criteria to ensure fairness, representation, and independence from legislative influence, shifting redistricting authority from the Texas Legislature to this independent body. This change aims to make redistricting more impartial while maintaining single-member district requirements for all affected offices.
