One lawsuit, filed by LULAC on behalf of 13 Texas residents, states that the redrawn districts in the new map are racially discriminatory and violate voter protection laws.

Voting-rights advocates are suing to overturn all of the redistricting plans drawn by Texas Republicans meant to favor Republicans in 2026 midterm elections, saying the map weakens the electoral influence of Black voters.

A lawsuit was filed against Texas by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) over the new congressional map that recently passed through the state legislature, arguing that it discriminates against voters of color and violates the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
