Is TX-18 contiguous? Also same question for TX-2.
What a disgusting map... Honestly I am amazed that people complain about California's new system when you compare it to what is happening in NC, TX, MD and IL
Yep. TX-02 has an interesting crescent moon shape and 18 is similar to its current form.
Here's the TX plan.
I agree. Redistricting should be taken out of the hands of legislatures.
Congressman Barton's interesting proposal
It makes TX-20 the San Antonio to Austin district, and adds TX=35 as a Laredo to San Antonio district that surrounds TX-20.
The DFW districts are hideous under Barton's plan.
I hate how Travis county is cracked 5 ways with both plans 
What an interesting map. The Houston area still sucks for the GOP (2, 8, 36 are megapacks). They could at least make the Denton to Tarrant finger cleaner.
