<x-flowed>The Texas Constitution
http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/txconst/toc.html
says absolutely nothing about U.S. Representative districts, only about
Texas Senate and House districts. There is very little on it in the
Election Code
http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/statutes/el.toc.htm other
than a requirement that the Legislature do it. The argument for the 2003
map was that, since the Court drew the 2001 map, that requirement had
still not been met. Nothing forbids redistricting every week if the
Legislature wants to do that. That is why, when I proposed a new
provision of the Election Code on the subject, I had to create an entire
new chapter.
