GARCIA, District Judge: General Fact Findings 1. The Texas House of Representatives has 150 members, each elected in a single-member district. Based on the 2010 U.S. Census, the ideal population size for each House district is 167,637. 2. Key players in charge of drawing and putting together the House map were Burt Solomons, Gerardo Interiano, and Ryan Downton, and to a lesser extent Bonnie Bruce, none of whom had any prior experience with redistricting. Tr995 (Downton). The House mapdrawers were drawing under the supervision of House Redistricting Committee (“HRC”) Chairman Solomons. Id. Speaker Joe Straus and Chairman Solomons were the ultimate decisionmakers on the number of districts in a county and on pairings. TrJ1575 (Interiano). 3. A regular session starts in January and lasts 140 days, and the only bills that can be passed the first 60 days are emergency items designated by the Governor. Tr1558 (Solomons); TrA1085-86 (Hunter). Committee assignments are often not made until February. Tr1558. Hunter testified that there were emergency items that needed attention. TrA1086.

    HOUSE JOURNAL EIGHTY-FIRST LEGISLATURE, REGULAR SESSION PROCEEDINGS FIRST DAY Ð TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 2009 In accordance with the laws and Constitution of the State of Texas, the members-elect of the house of representatives assembled this day in the hall of the house of representatives in the city of Austin at 12 noon. The Honorable Hope Andrade, secretary of state of the State of Texas, called the House of Representatives of the Eighty-First Legislature of the State of Texas to order. The invocation was offered by Archbishop Daniel Nicholas Cardinal DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, as follows: Almighty and compassionate Lord, you have revealed your glory to all nations and have care for all. We humbly thank you for this land, our state, a land rich in resources but above all rich in its many people. May we be a people mindful of your love and kindness. Save us from violence, discord and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. God of power and might, wisdom and justice, through you authority is rightly administered, laws are enacted, and judgement is decreed. Let the light of your divine wisdom direct the deliberations of this legislature and shine forth in all its proceedings and laws framed for our rule and governance. May this house of representatives seek to preserve the common good and continue to bring us the blessings of liberty and equality. Assist with your spirit of counsel and fortitude the speaker and all representatives, that their administration be conducted in right judgment and be eminently useful to the citizens of this state.

BAKER III INSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC POLICY. 2 The 2011 Texas House of Representatives I. Introduction Political scientists have long used roll call votes cast by members of the U.S. Congress to plot the legislators on the liberal-conservative dimension along which most legislative politics in our nation’s capital (as well as in Austin) now takes place.1 Here, drawing on the data provided by roll call votes held during the combined 2011 regular and first special legislative sessions (January-June), I provide similar information for the members of the Texas House of Representatives. These data provide a window from which to view only one facet of a representative’s activities in Austin, and should thus be considered as one of many tools utilized by citizens to evaluate their elected officials.

  • The November 2008 Texas Ballot
    The November 2008 Texas Ballot This post-primary look at the ballots includes Republicans, Democrats, and Libertarians (who will choose their candidates at their state convention). Incumbents names are in bold. Here's how the Texas Weekly Index (TWI) works: It's the average difference between statewide Republicans and statewide Democrats in contested elections in 2004 and 2006, by district. If it's red, or a negative number, Republicans did better in that district; if it's blue or a positive number, Democrats did better. It's not meant to predict results, but to give you a quick look at recent political history in each district.
