The proposed joint resolution aims to amend the Texas Constitution by creating an Independent Citizen Redistricting Commission responsible for redistricting the Texas Legislature, congressional districts, and State Board of Education districts after each decennial U.S. census. The commission will consist of 14 members, including five from the majority party, five from the minority party, and four independent members. It is designed to ensure a transparent redistricting process that prioritizes public input and adheres to criteria such as population equality and compliance with the Voting Rights Act. The resolution also outlines the appointment process for commission members, their eligibility, and the criteria for drawing district lines, with a deadline for final map approval set for September 15 of the year following a census.

Additionally, the resolution grants the commission the exclusive authority to defend its certified final map against legal challenges and allows registered voters to challenge the implementation of a final map within a specified timeframe. It includes provisions for the reapportionment of judicial districts, stating that the commission will take over if the Judicial Districts Board does not act after the census. The resolution also repeals certain sections of the Texas Constitution and introduces a temporary provision for the effective dates of the new amendments, abolishing the Legislative Redistricting Board. Voters will have the opportunity to decide on this constitutional amendment in an election scheduled for May 2, 2026.
