Texas was ordered to revert back to previous congressional maps. See how your district compares to the one a court blocked.

Texas lawmakers attempted to redraw the state’s congressional districts in an unusual mid-decade redistricting effort pushed by President Donald Trump to gain more Republican seats in Congress.
However, a panel of three federal judges ruled in November that lawmakers cannot use the redrawn map. It was not immediately clear if the state still has a legal path to restoring the new map in time for 2026.
The proposed districts, signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott, were designed to give the GOP five more U.S. House seats in the 2026 midterms. Groups representing Black and Latino voters have filed lawsuits to stop the new maps from going into effect claiming that they discriminate against voters of color.
Under those districts, many voters would have been voting in congressional districts with different political leanings or demographic majorities in the upcoming midterms. If the federal court ruling stands, it means the proposed districts won’t be used next year. However, Attorney General Ken Paxton has said he would appeal the ruling.
