I removed Galveston from the Houston UCC, and added Grayson, Hunt, and Kaufman to the DFW UCC to get the two metro areas close to a whole number of representatives.
The Northeast and Southeast areas drew themselves. The Deep East district formed between the two. As I worked west, I discovered that I could not reach the quota by adding Freestone, Limestone, etc., but could by adding Brazos.
This then led to expansion of the Central area to the east. What had been considered a flexible area become a new district. Surprisingly, this is an open seat but strongly anchored by Waco, Temple, and Killeen.
The "Coast" district took up the remainder of the east region and includes Guadalupe which was detached from San Antonio.
The Border area was straightforward. It is not necessary to split Hidalgo or draw fajita strips. The El Paso district includes Loving, Winkler, Ward, and Crane because Val Verde was a little too much population.
The remaining of the border area will go into Bexar (San Antonio).
I started out with the current configurations of TX-28 and TX-31, but this left the remainder of the west area in a very thin strip along the eastern edge - it was not even fully contiguous. So I switched Wichita Falls and the Red River area into TX-28, and
Division of Metro AreasHoustonConceivably Montgomery, Fort Bend, and Brazoria could each extend into Harris to complete their district, but that would be kind of weird for the the Brazoria district. So I would split Fort Bend, adding most to Brazoria, and have a Houston district extending into Fort Bend. This might pull the Hispanic district too far south into the Clear Lake area. so the Brazoria district could include that area, and less of Fort Bend.
The Montgomery district would extend into Harris, probably into the northeast. This would leave the three minority districts in Harris. The final result would likely be three Republican seats, the Democrat and one competitive.
DFWThe three attached counties plus Rockwall form about 1/2 a district, which could be added to northern and eastern Collin. The remainder of Collin would be attached to northern Dallas. Add a Hispanic and Black district in Dallas, leaves a remnant of 0.432 which could be placed in a cross-border district with Tarrant. Denton could be kept as its own district, but I would be inclined to add a nibble (35K) from Tarrant.
Tarrant plus the remnant from Dallas along with Ellis and Johnson would form three districts. The city of Fort Worth has almost enough for a senate district, and with enclaves probably does. This would result in one district in eastern Tarrant including Arlington up to Denton line, and Ellis and Johnson being included in a district taking up southern and western Tarrant.
AustinThe two districts would be eastern Travis; and Williamson plus western Travis.
San AntonioThe extra counties would be added to northern Bexar. Webb (Laredo) and the other counties in the border area would be added to southern Bexar, and the third district would be the center of the county. We could also add the strip of Medina and Uvalde to the northern district.
