The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to create the Texas Redistricting Commission, which will oversee the redistricting of congressional districts in Texas 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 parties and independent representatives, the commission is designed to ensure diverse and balanced representation. It will conduct a transparent redistricting process, adhering to criteria that prioritize fair representation, population equality, and compliance with federal laws, including the Voting Rights Act.

The resolution also details the operational framework for the commission, including member appointment timelines, district line drawing criteria, and final map approval requirements. If the commission fails to approve a map by the deadline, the Texas Supreme Court will appoint special masters to finalize the process. The commission will have the exclusive authority to defend its maps against legal challenges, with the attorney general providing representation as needed. The resolution mandates that the proposed amendment be presented to voters in an election scheduled for May 2, 2026, ensuring that the redistricting process is completed in a timely and structured manner.
