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.
