The San Antonio court entered an order late Thursday afternoon extending the time for parties to file map advisories through March 22 and the deadline for responses through April 5.
The original deadline for the advisories had been today.
The extension came at the request of the Texas Latino Redistricting Task Force, which said it needed a short extension to review the redistricting bills and proposed maps filed last week.
The court’s minute order extended the time for all parties.
I’ll be very interested to see how the Texas Latino Redistricting Task Force reacts to the Darby/Seliger bills and the Yvonne Davis maps. I’d accept the Darby/Seliger deal if it were up to me, but the Task Force has the skin in the game. We’ll see what they say.
