- League of United Latin American Citizens files suit against Texas redistricting — The League of United Latin American Citizens, representing 13 Texas voters, filed suit challenging the redrawn congressional maps within hours of the redistricting bill's passage. The filing alleges the map "eviscerates minorities' opportunity to elect their candidates of choice in four key areas of the state." This represents a second major legal challenge to the redistricting effort alongside the NAACP lawsuit.
- NAACP files lawsuit challenging Texas congressional redistricting as racial gerrymander — The NAACP, joined by the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, sued Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Secretary of State Jane Nelson, challenging redrawn congressional maps as a racial gerrymander that strips Black voters of political power. The lawsuit seeks a preliminary injunction and argues the maps violate the U.S. Constitution and Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Texas Republicans passed the redistricting on Saturday, expected to increase Republican representation by five seats, while the state's population is 40% white but white voters control over 73% of congressional seats.
