NOTES: {****} "290" refers to an Interstate. Essentially, the district is a long narrow strip along an interstate from Austin to Houston. {****} The word "Doggett" refers to the pesky liberal Democrat whom the Republicans hoped to gerrymander out of a job. The plan backfired in that respect. They actually guaranteed him a job for life, because Doggett simply switched from the 10th District to the 25th, which was engineered to include 80% minorites.

House Republicans Gloat Over New Texas Redistricting Map. Sampler comment from the GOP e-mail: "Doggett - ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - The district goes from North Central Austin (NOT liberal Hyde Park but more north conservative Plugerville area) and stretches to Katy Texas outside of Houston. Robert called this the 290 district. It is very Republican and will be where my friend Brian Walters will be likely running. Littelfield already is a consultant. (switches to R) "
