Democratic plaintiffs file motion for preliminary injunction to block legislature from considering redistricting this year

Plaintiffs asking a federal court to block the Texas Legislature from drawing new maps this year on Monday filed a motion for a preliminary injunction.

The legal team, including GOP former Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson, argues that the Texas Constitution “clearly requires the redistricting process to start in the first regular session after the Census has been published, which means January 2023, not a special session in September.”
