Texas GOP caught going a little too far with redistricting:

Federal Judges Will Draw New Political Maps for Texas

“Today’s ruling supports what leaders of the Mexican American Legislative Caucus have been saying for months — the Republican Leadership discriminated against minorities by seeking to grow their political influence in the halls of Congress and the Texas House while ignoring the demographic reality of those responsible for our state’s population growth,” said state Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, D-San Antonio, chairman of MALC, in a statement.

“The real losers in this process are the voters,” said Boyd Richie, chairman of the Texas Democratic Party, in a press release. “Texas voters are seeing Republican discrimination and obstructionism at all levels but don’t know which Republicans they’ll have a chance to vote against this election cycle. This entire process could have been avoided if Republicans would have drawn maps based on demographics rather than their own shallow political ambitions.”
