Democratic-aligned nonprofit, civil rights groups ready to sue over Texas congressional map

(The Hill) Several Democratic-aligned and civil rights groups are readying to sue over a proposed set of new congressional lines in Texas as lawmakers in the Lone Star State look to advance a GOP-friendly map ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Several groups including the National Redistricting Foundation, the National Democratic Redistricting Committee’s nonprofit arm; the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF); and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) filed a motion Monday asking a federal court in Texas to set aside time for a hearing once the groups file a preliminary injunction that looks to block the Texas House map from taking effect.

The filing also asks the court to “vacate, as to the state legislative challenges, its August 11, 2025, order suspending the deadline for submitting proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law.”
