	Texas's 1st congressional district - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Texas District 1 of the United States House of Representatives is a Congressional district that serves the northeastern portion of the state of Texas.
		The district was predominantly rural for much of its history, and thus was far friendlier to electing Democrats to Congress even as most of Texas swung toward the Republicans.
		The district's four-term Democratic incumbent, Max Sandlin, was a particularly severe critic of the DeLay-led redistricting effort, claiming that lumping rural areas with urban ones stifled the voice of rural voters.

		The majority-fl district in Harris County is District 18; the majority-Hispanic district is District 29.
		Congressional District 25 was not spared in the redistricting process, however, as it eventually lost population to District 18 in southern Harris County thereby necessitating the additional population from the southwest, the Baytown area, and north of the Ship Channel.
		Lisa Handley evaluated the districts under Plan C657 in terms of their geographic com- pactness and concluded that the plan is "reasonably compact because a large portion of the districts are composed of whole counties and follow state, county, and city boundaries." 37.

	Supreme Court frees Texas, other states to redistrict whenever (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		WASHINGTON — A fractured Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that states are free to redraw congressional districts whenever they want, largely blessing Tom DeLay's bitterly contested handiwork in Texas and the gains it gave national Republicans.
		The ruling freed states to readjust the lines more frequently — potentially whenever political power shifts — so long as they do not run afoul of the Voting Rights Act or other laws designed to protect the right to vote.
		The plan's "troubling blend of politics and race — and the resulting vote dilution of a group that was beginning to achieve (a) goal of overcoming prior electoral discrimination — cannot be sustained," he wrote.
