Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed into law a new congressional redistricting map on Friday that is expected to strengthen Republican control of the state’s delegation in Washington, D.C.

The map adds five GOP-leaning districts and is projected to significantly reduce Democratic representation from the state.

The measure followed weeks of partisan stalemate in the Texas Legislature, where Democrats sought to block the plan by leaving the state and denying Republicans the quorum needed to move the bill forward.

That effort, which extended over a month, delayed passage of the legislation but ultimately ended when many lawmakers returned to Austin.

The newly drawn map comes during the second redistricting process since the 2020 census.

Under the plan, Republicans are expected to hold 30 of Texas’ 38 congressional seats, compared with the current breakdown of 25 Republicans, 12 Democrats, and one vacant seat.

The change could eliminate as many as five Democratic-held districts in areas where new lines were drawn.

Governor Abbott described the new map as a fairer representation for Texas voters.

“The one, big beautiful map … ensures fairer representation in the United States Congress for Texans,” Abbott said in a video statement posted on X.

“Texas is now more red in the United States Congress.”

Democrats immediately criticized the plan and alleged that it targeted minority communities.

“With a stroke of the pen, Greg Abbott and the Republicans have effectively surrendered Texas to Washington, D.C.,” Texas Democrats said in a statement.

“They love to boast about how ‘Texas Tough’ they are, but when Donald Trump made one call, they bent over backwards to prioritize his politics over Texans. Honestly, it’s pathetic.”

Civil rights organizations and progressive groups are preparing legal challenges to the new map, Axios reported.

Court proceedings could keep the boundaries under review for months.

Republicans, however, argue that U.S. Supreme Court precedent has made clear that partisan gerrymandering is a political issue and not one subject to constitutional review.

Several incumbent Democrats appear to be at risk under the new district lines.

Rep. Greg Casar, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and a member of the “Squad,” is one of the most vulnerable.

Rep. Al Green, a 77-year-old Democrat known for his vocal opposition to President Trump and for being removed from the House chamber during Trump’s March speech, also faces challenges.

Other Democrats who could see their districts eliminated or significantly altered include Rep. Henry Cuellar and Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, both from the Rio Grande Valley, Rep. Julie Johnson from the Dallas metropolitan area, and Rep. Lloyd Doggett, whose district is based in Austin.

The redistricting marks a major shift in Texas politics, with Republicans consolidating their hold on congressional representation in one of the nation’s most populous states.

The outcome of ongoing legal challenges will determine whether the new map is in place for the next election cycle or subject to revisions by the courts.

For now, Texas Republicans are celebrating the passage of the map as a political victory, while Democrats are preparing to contest its legality in federal court.

The changes underscore the stakes of redistricting battles nationwide, as states finalize congressional lines that will shape representation in Washington for the next decade.
