The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to create an independent redistricting commission in Texas, tasked with fairly establishing electoral districts for the U.S. House of Representatives, Texas Senate, and Texas House of Representatives. Composed of 15 members selected from a nonpartisan pool, the commission aims to eliminate partisan influence in the redistricting process. It will have the authority to adopt redistricting plans that adhere to specific guidelines, ensuring compliance with constitutional and federal laws, protection of minority voting rights, and respect for communities of interest. The resolution emphasizes transparency and public engagement, requiring public hearings and opportunities for citizen input throughout the redistricting process.

Additionally, the resolution outlines the procedures for appointing commission members, including criteria to ensure demographic diversity and impartiality. It mandates that applicants disclose their political activity history and prohibits the appointment of individuals with certain political affiliations or public office positions, although disqualifications can be waived by a unanimous commission vote. The selection process involves a nonpartisan agency that will develop a pool of eligible members, which must be approved by a select committee. The commission is also required to publish preliminary redistricting plans and reports detailing public feedback before finalizing the plans, which will become law after a 45-day period if they meet established criteria. A temporary provision is included to facilitate the transition to this new process, with a public vote on the proposed amendment scheduled for May 2026.
