Daniel Bush:

Well, Lisa, Republicans are driving the bus here. That's because they control the state legislature.

So this is the basic timeline. Sometime later this summer or early fall census will release community level date that shows us where the population growth is. But we know that, here in Texas, that is the Houston area, Dallas-Forth Worth, as well as Austin.

Republicans will convene a special legislative session. They will draw new lines. They only have two meet two basic criteria. Number one, these new districts have to be the same side, roughly 770,000 or so voters. And, number two, they can't discriminate against voters based on race, color or ethnicity.

Once those lines are drawn, Democrats say they are prepared for a legal challenge that may push this into next spring. And, most likely, we're not going to have new district lines until the spring, at the earliest, of 2022, ahead of the midterm cycle.
