Austin - Today a federal court released proposed interim redistricting maps for Texas House and Senate seats. Representative Mike Villarreal, Vice Chair of the House Redistricting Committee, released the following statement in response to the proposed maps:

We will continue to analyze the proposal and monitor the next steps, but it looks like we are making progress."
