House Bill 7 would allow private citizens to sue out-of-state prescribers and distributors of abortion pills sent into Texas.

The plan redraws Texas’ congressional districts, potentially shifting several seats from Democratic to Republican control in the 2026 midterms.

The measure comes four years after the state’s highest criminal court ruled the agency could not bring election cases without an invitation from local prosecutors.

The Texas Senate voted to approve a controversial, mid-decade redistricting bill that redraws the state's congressional map in Republican's favor. The new districts could give the GOP as many as five more seats in Congress after the 2026 midterm elections.

The Texas Legislature passed a plan called for by President Trump to give Republicans an edge. And California lawmakers are sending theirs to the voters as the two most populous states compete to shape the midterm elections for Congress.

Republican lawmakers are poised to push the map through over fierce Democratic opposition, positioning the GOP to net up to five additional seats in Texas.

Gov. Greg Abbott bragged that state financial policies make Texas more business friendly at a ceremonial closing bell celebrating NYSE Texas.

It’s been more than a week since Democrats fled the state to block a Republican-backed redistricting map.

It's now week two of a quorum break by more than 50 Texas House Democrats who left the state to block a new, Republican-backed congressional district map. A lot has happened so far — from court filings to threats from top Texas officials to law enforcement showing up at Democrats' homes.
