Lawmakers back at work on congressional maps
The new map keeps Webb County in one district, but divides Hidalgo County into three districts, a move some South Texas lawmakers have adamantly opposed. A district that runs along northern Travis County now extends northwest to Lampasas County and northeast to Robertson County, but does not stretch into Harris County as it previously had. Staples' first map split Webb County into two districts and Hidalgo County was divided into two districts.
