Texas's 25th congressional district
Texas District 25 of the United States House of Representatives is a Congressional district that stretches from Fort Worth to Austin. The current Representative from District 25 is Roger Williams.
==21st century redistrictings==
For the 2004 elections, it had an elongated shape stretching from deep south Texas at the U.S.-Mexico border to Austin as a result of mid-decade 2003 gerrymandering of Texas congressional districts. The district's shape led Texas Democrats to nickname it "the fajita strip".
The district was redrawn again for the 2006 elections as the result of a lawsuit (see below).
In July 2011, Texas Governor Rick Perry signed into law a redistricting plan ("C185"), approved by the Texas legislature in June, which gave the 25th district a completely different geography for the 2012 elections, including part of Travis county, and stretching north as far as southern Tarrant County near Fort Worth. The redistricting split Travis County into five districts, and made it unrealistic for Doggett to be re-elected in any of them except the new 35th district (which by weight of population is more of a San Antonio district than an Austin district). There is a currently pending consolidated lawsuit against the proposed redistricting.〔("Riding the Pinwheel" ), Lee Nichols, ''The Austin Chronicle'', August 26, 2011〕〔(Lawsuit charges racial bias in redistricting maps ), Tim Eaton, ''Austin American-Statesman'' Sept. 5, 2011〕
