Tarrant County commissioners approved a controversial redistricting proposal late Tuesday afternoon. It was a long and contentious day at the Commissioners Court with more than 200 people speaking about redrawing boundary lines during public comment.

The new map, presented to the public on May 30, alters the Democratic Precincts 1 and 2 in southern Tarrant County. Precinct 2 Commissioner Alisa Simmons of Arlington, up for reelection in 2026, will be in a Republican-leaning district.

Tarrant County, Texas, sued over a newly drawn map of commissioner districts that plaintiffs say discriminates against Black and Latino voters.
