It is supposed to be done every 10 years. With the last census, TX gained seats due to increase in population. The acting Lt Gov, RINO Bill RATliff, would not support the Rep plan, and voted with the dims. Since districts had to be added, a group of judges made do with the old dim map, changing just enough to add those districts. RATliff has not run, but is still not supporting the new map.
Dims keep saying Tom Delay is the one pushing this - and I am sure he is to some extent. Why was it okay in '92 when Martin Frost did the dim one? Dims have selective memories. They are out of power for the first time in 130 years.
