The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to create the Texas Redistricting Commission, which will oversee the redistricting of congressional districts in Texas after each decennial census. This amendment aims to revise the current redistricting procedures, stipulating that if the Texas Legislature does not apportion districts during its first regular session post-census, the commission will assume this responsibility. Comprising 14 members from both major parties and independent representatives, the commission is designed to ensure a balanced and impartial approach to redistricting. It will follow specific criteria emphasizing transparency, public engagement, and compliance with legal standards, including the Voting Rights Act.

Additionally, the resolution outlines the operational framework for the commission, including funding provisions, member selection processes, and the authority to defend its certified maps against legal challenges. The Texas Supreme Court will have original jurisdiction over such cases, and registered voters will have the right to challenge certified maps within 45 days. The resolution also includes amendments related to judicial district reapportionment and sets a timeline for the implementation of the new procedures. This proposed amendment will be presented to voters in an election scheduled for May 2, 2026, with the goal of enhancing the fairness and integrity of the redistricting process in Texas.
