The past census gave Texas 4 new seats in the House of Representatives. The High Court decided . . .


The Supreme Court on Friday ruled in a Texas political dispute, rejecting judge-drawn election maps favoring minority candidates and Democrats in the 2012 congressional and state legislature elections.

The original new redistricting map gave one of the four new districts to a Hispanic majority population.  Democrats wanted more , complaining that the redistricting was grossly unfair.  A lower court agreed and redrew the map.
The High Court reversed that decision.  Understand that the state’s population grew by 20% with Hispanics counting for more than half of that growth.  

This is a fairly big deal.  The Court's decision ruled against a lower and activist court  hell bent on driving Democrat causes.
