334 TEXAS ALMANAC.-1952-1953.
Table below gives
Texas' twenty-one con-
gressional districts,
with counties in each,
and population as of
the censuses of 1950
and 1930. The Fifty-
s e con d Legislature,
1951, did not redistrict
the state for Congress
on basis of the 1950
census. Without a re-
districting on basis of
the 1950 census, Texas
will be entitled to one
congressman at large
to be elected from the
entire state in the elec-
tions of 1952. Such
congressmen at large
will serve until suchCongressional Districts,
Population, 1950 and 1930time as Legislature raises the number , E o cu
of districts to twenty-two.
The last congressional redistricting
of Texas was by the Forty-third Legis-
lature, 1933, on basis of the 1930 cen- 15
sus. At that time the number of dis-
tricts was raised from eighteen to
twenty-one.
In the short interval between publication of
the 1930 census and the redistricting in 1933,
Texas had three congressmen at large. Legisla-
ture did not redistrict on basis of the 1940
census, but the increase in the Texas population
was not great enough, in relation to the popula-
tion of the United States, to entitle Texas to an
additional Representative in Congress.
The next preceding redistricting of the state was by the Thirty-fifth Legislature in 1917,
when the number of districts was raised from sixteen to eighteen, on basis of the 1910
census. During the interval between the publication of the 1910 census results and the
redistricting of 1917. Texas had two congressmen at large. There was no redistricting on
basis of the 1920 census, because the increase in the Texas population, relative to the increase
in the United States, was not large enough to entitle Texas to an additional Representative.
