The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to create the Texas Redistricting Commission, which will oversee the redistricting of Texas congressional districts following each decennial census. If the Texas Legislature does not complete the apportionment of districts during its first regular session after the census, the commission will assume this responsibility. Comprising 14 members from both major political parties and independent members, the commission aims to ensure a balanced and diverse approach to redistricting. The resolution emphasizes transparency, public participation, and adherence to legal standards, including population equality and compliance with the Voting Rights Act, while requiring a supermajority vote for final map approval.

Additionally, the resolution outlines the funding and operational support for the commission, including a statewide outreach program to encourage public involvement. It grants the commission exclusive authority to defend against legal challenges to certified maps, with the Texas Supreme Court having original jurisdiction over such cases. Registered voters will have the opportunity to challenge certified maps within 45 days of their certification. The proposed amendment also includes provisions for judicial district reapportionment and establishes a timeline for the new redistricting procedures, which will be presented to voters in an election scheduled for May 2, 2026.
