- DOJ raises racial gerrymandering concerns in Texas districts — The Department of Justice sent a letter to Texas officials on July 7, 2025, raising "serious concerns" that four congressional districts—three in Houston and one in Dallas-Fort Worth—were racially gerrymandered in violation of the Voting Rights Act. Texas Republicans have maintained since 2021 that the districts comply with law, and the matter remains in ongoing federal litigation in El Paso.
