SJR 43 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Proposing a constitutional amendment establishing an independent redistricting commission to establish districts for the election of the members of the United States House of Representatives elected from this state, the Texas Senate, and the Texas House of Representatives.

SJR 43 proposes a constitutional amendment to create an independent redistricting commission that would draw election districts for Texas' U.S. House, Texas Senate, and Texas House of Representatives. The commission would consist of 15 members appointed through a nonpartisan process requiring representation from majority, minority, and independent political categories to ensure demographic diversity. This would replace the current system where the Texas legislature draws these districts after each census. If approved by Texas voters, the amendment would shift redistricting authority from the legislature to the commission.
