The Texas redistricting trial wraps up

The trial has mostly wound up http://txredistricting.org/post/162996419486/the-texas-redistricting-trial-wraps-up

It’s not yet clear when the court will rule. At least one of the judges said earlier this week that his calendar is pretty packed for the next couple of weeks. But at least in theory given the limited number of remaining issues, it might even be possible to get a ruling before the month-long special session of the Texas Legislature that begins July 18 ends. But in any event, the redrawing of the Texas state house and congressional maps - and there will be a redrawing if for no other reason than to remedy the carryover violations - seems at long last to be in the horizon.
