HJR 28 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 1st Called Session (2025)

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 28 proposes a constitutional amendment to create an Independent Citizen Redistricting Commission in Texas. The commission, composed of 14 members (5 majority party, 5 minority party, and 4 non-partisan), would redraw Texas legislative districts, congressional districts, and State Board of Education districts following each U.S. census. It requires single-member districts, mandates public transparency in the redistricting process, and aims to reduce partisan influence by requiring members to have voted in prior statewide primaries. This proposal, if approved by voters, would replace the current process where the Texas Legislature draws district lines.
