Proposing a constitutional amendment establishing the Texas Redistricting Commission to redistrict Texas congressional districts and revising procedures for redistricting.

HJR 36 proposes a constitutional amendment to establish a Texas Redistricting Commission that would redraw congressional district boundaries if the state legislature fails to act after the U.S. census. The Commission would consist of five state officials: the Lieutenant Governor, Speaker of the House, Attorney General, Comptroller, and Land Commissioner, and must finalize a redistricting plan within 60 days of assembling (within 90 days of the legislature's session ending). The plan requires approval by at least three Commission members and would take effect at the next statewide general election. This amendment would replace the current legislative redistricting process with a defined commission structure for congressional districts only.
