The Texas House Redistricting committee is getting to work on drawing new district lines for several elected positions.

The committee's chair Rep. Burt Solomons (R-Carrollton) introduced Thursday the first map redistricting state representatives.

The maps are attached on the top of this story and will continue to be updated as the maps are drawn.
