Who authorizes counties in Texas?
I live in a county in Alabama that was created by the Alabama legislature from parts of existing counties in 1866 (Elmore). Other counties were merged together/apart in different ways over the years.
The Texas governor and legislature should merge Travis county with other more conservative counties or gerrymander new borders to force her out.
No, Austin has too large a population. Better to just wall it in to keep them contained.
