Right now, Texas is expected to gain 3 House seats/EV, and is actually very close to gaining a fourth. If the Democrats can't figure out how to put up any competent statewide candidates come 2010, things could get quite amusing, as Texas Republicans would undoubtedly go after Chet Edwards and Lloyd Doggett again most likely (or Ciro, if he's still around by then).
Based on population trends, it is almost certain where the three new House seats will go. One will be in the northern Dallas suburbs. One will be in the southeast Houston suburbs. The last will be in the major growth area between Austin and San Antonio. If a 4th CD appears, it will be centered around McAllen or so (South Texas).
