I made a map based off what jimrtex allocated and here's what I got: https://davesredistricting.org/join/9c756ce4-d3e1-4873-a7c1-493191d9db78

Trump 86 Biden 64
Cornyn 88 Biden 62

There's some competitive district that democrats could flip but there's also some that Republicans could.

Bad
A nonpartisan map would either give Biden a majority of Districts won, or something very close to that.

lol
Its called a geography bias. Texas geography strongly favors Democrats, as can clearly be seen by Biden coming 1 District short of tying the seat count in an existing Republican gerrymander. Maps ought to reflect the fact that geography works in such a direction. And no, I am not a hack on this topic who claims that geography somehow favors Democrats everywhere, as I am fully willing to admit that it can favor Republicans in some cases, including as examples, Illinois and Pennsylvania.
It doesn't though as can be seen by the map I drew
