A walkout by Democratic legislators in Texas has ended, and Republicans are arranging to push a plan for redrawing the state’s congressional districts through the GOP-controlled Legislature.

A spokesperson for Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas said their office is aiming to release possible redrawn maps on Friday.

Newsom’s effort to redraw the state’s congressional maps is the marquee item on the Legislature’s agenda as it returns today from recess.

This map is not final and lawmakers could tweak it further before deciding to move ahead. Any changes to the congressional district maps would require an amendment to the state Constitution and would need to be approved by two-thirds of the Assembly and state Senate chambers - though both chambers hold such supermajorities.
