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

HJR 135 proposes a constitutional amendment to replace Texas' current redistricting process with a seven-member Texas Redistricting Commission. The commission would be appointed by legislative leaders (senate and house majority/minority leaders) and include two retired federal judges selected by the other members. This commission would be responsible for drawing all state legislative and U.S. congressional district maps, directly affecting how Texas voters are represented in both state and federal elections. The amendment requires commission members to have analytical skills and impartiality, while prohibiting current elected officials, party officers, or political operatives from serving.
