What this is
Texas law establishes new districts for electing U.S. House members from Texas.
House Bill 4 is a state law that creates new election districts for Texas. These districts determine which areas of Texas elect each U.S. House representative. The law divides Texas into districts using county boundaries and specific geographic sections within counties.
The bill passed the Texas Legislature and was signed by the Governor on August 29, 2025. This made it official law for how Texas elects its representatives to Congress. The districts listed in the bill include parts of 12 counties in East Texas for District 1, and detailed sections of Harris County for District 2, among others throughout the state.
Each district elects one member to the U.S. House of Representatives. These districts matter because they affect which areas vote together and who represents them in Congress. The specific county and block designations in the law ensure clear, legally defined boundaries for voting.
This redistricting affects how Houstonians and all Texans participate in federal elections. Understanding your district helps you know who your congressional representative is and how to contact them. The law took effect after the Governor's signature, shaping elections going forward.

How this affects households
Under $30,000
This redistricting doesn't change your household budget or benefits. You may have a different representative who could vote differently on programs that help families with lower incomes.
$30,000-$60,000
New district lines don't directly affect your wallet. Your new representative might have different views on middle-class tax policies or healthcare programs.
$60,000-$100,000
Redistricting itself doesn't cost you money or save you money. The main change is who represents you in Congress and their voting record on issues you care about.
Over $100,000
The new district boundaries don't directly impact your finances. Your new congressional representative may vote differently on tax policies that affect higher earners.
