About the 2025 Re-Precincting

Texas Election Code Chapter 42 requires that counties review their election precincts in odd years to determine if they are in compliance with Sections 42.005, 42.006, and 42.007, which describe the jurisdictional and population requirements for county election precincts.

Per the Code, election precincts are required to be:

• Contiguous
• With a population between 100 – 5000 registered voters
• Contained entirely within either incorporated or unincorporated territory
• Contained entirely within one each of the following jurisdictions:
  • County Commissioner precinct
  • Justice precinct
  • Congressional district
  • State Representative district
  • State Senatorial district
  • State Board of Education district

While not required by the Code, this project also included Constable precincts and Houston City Council districts.

Re-precincting is different from re-districting in that the boundaries for elected officials (and thus their constituencies) remain the same. Only election precinct boundaries are adjusted, so there are no changes to any voters’ ballots in terms of the contests in which they vote.

The proposed boundary adjustments were approved unanimously by Commissioners Court on May 8, 2025. The adopted changes will become effective on January 1, 2026.
