Texas Senate Passes Redistricting Map by 19-2

On August 12, 2025, the Texas Senate voted 19-2 to pass a new redistricting map, a move aimed at potentially adding more GOP seats in the U.S. House for the 2026 election. The vote proceeded despite a walkout by nine Democrats, with the map now heading to the House, where a quorum break by Democrats has stalled progress.

Prior to the vote Democrats stormed out of the senate floor.
