The Texas Senate and House have finally passed a redistricting bill which is supposed to go to Governor Perry for signature, reported by the Midland Reporter Telegram.
Here's a map in pdf format showing the new districts. (Cartographers and residents of Sutton County probably wonder why the map shows the district line slicing through Sutton County rather than hugging the county line.)
Midland will be within the new District 11 which covers a sprawling area containing 35 counties which amazingly reaches to the East to within about 25 miles of central Austin.
Here is a list of all 35 counties within the new District 11 -
Andrews, Dawson, Martin, Scurry, Mitchell, Loving, Winkler, Ector, Midland, Glasscock, Sterling, Coke, Runnels, Coleman, Brown, Comanche, Mills, Ward, Crane, Upton, Reagan, Irion, Tom Green, Concho, McCulloch, San Saba, Lampasas, Schleicher, Menard, Mason, Llano, Burnett, Sutton, Kimble, and Gillespie.
