Original Note:
This map was redrawn by the Republican-controlled Texas Legislature in 2021, signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott on October 25, 2021 (see https://redistricting.capitol.texas.gov/). This design reflects a "packing" gerrymandering strategy to concentrate Democratic voters, as analyzed by the Brennan Center (https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/texas-redistricting-back-court).
