Relating to the establishment of the Texas Redistricting Commission.

HB 241 establishes a nine-member Texas Redistricting Commission to draw election districts for the U.S. House, Texas House, and Texas Senate. The commission replaces the legislature as the sole body responsible for redistricting after each census, with members appointed based on party affiliation (eight members chosen bipartisanship by the legislature) and strict eligibility rules. To serve, members must be Texas voters over 25, avoid holding public office or working on political campaigns, and cannot run for office during or after their term. This bill directly affects all Texas voters by shifting the redistricting process from the legislature to an independent commission with defined membership rules.
