    I. Congressional District 33The United States Supreme Courts order in this case suggested strongly that this Court

    would be justified in departing from the States enacted congressional plan in the Dallas-Fort

    Worth area.1

    Specifically, the Court indicated that it would be appropriate for this Court to

    deviate from the enacted plans configuration of Tarrant County congressional districts,

    including CD 33, because the districts appear[ed] to be subject to strong challenges in the 5

    proceeding. Perry v. Perez, 132 S. Ct. 934, 944 (2012) (per curiam). The State bears the burden

    of proof in the Section 5 proceeding. See, e.g.,Reno v. Bossier Parish Sch. Bd., 520 U.S. 471,

    478 (1997); City of Pleasant Grove v. U.S., 479 U.S. 462, 469 (1987). In light of the States

    burden to disprove discriminatory purpose under Section 5, the Supreme Courts specific

    reference in Perry to Dallas-Fort Worth congressional districts, the Department of Justices

    objection to these districts, and evidence in the record that certain features of these districts

    correlate to race and divide concentrated minority populations, this Court has a legal and factual

    basis to conclude that there is a reasonable probability these districts will fail to gain

    preclearance.2

    4/96

    districts are based on allegations of discriminatory purpose. When a district is challenged as

    drawn with an impermissible purposeparticularly when the effect of that alleged purpose is to

    fracture identifiable communitiesthe appropriate remedy should reverse the effect of the

    alleged impermissible purpose. See, e.g., Albemarle Paper Co. v. Moody, 422 U.S. 405, 418

    (1975) (explaining that an appropriate remedy for intentional discrimination will so far as

    possible eliminate the discriminatory effects of the past as well as bar like discrimination in the

    future) (citingLouisiana v. United States, 380 U. S. 145, 154 (1965)). In redrawing a district,

    the Court is of course limited by its inability to make the policy decisions that inform a

    legislatures redistricting efforts. Thus the appropriate remedy is generally informed by the

    status quo ante, which provides the most recent expression of state policy.3 See, e.g.,Balderas v.

    Texas, 2001 WL 35673968 (E.D. Tex. Nov. 14, 2001) (per curiam), summarily aff'd, 536 U.S.

    919 (2002). The remedy is complicated in this case by the fact that the status quo ante is not

    available, strictly speaking, because of population growth and the addition of four new

    congressional seats in the State. But CD33, as drawn in Plan C226, provides an appropriate

    agreed interim remedy for the Section 5 challenge to Dallas-Fort Worth congressional districts

    precisely because it maintains the core of the existing congressional districts surrounding CD33,

    2010, the Anglo population in Dallas and Tarrant counties decreased by 156,742. See Doc. 638-

    39. The African American population increased by 152,825 and the Latino population increased

    by 440,898. Id. Today, Anglos constitute 41% of the total population in Dallas and Tarrant

    Counties, African Americans constitute 19% and Latinos constitute 33%. Id. Plan C226 follows

    traditional redistricting criteria in creating CD33 as a new congressional district to accommodate

    the fast-growing population of the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. Opinion and Order,Balderas v. Texas,

    No. 6:01-cv-158 (Doc. 413) at *56 (E.D. Tex. Nov. 14, 2001).

    Congressional District 33 in Plan C226 remedies the separation of communities in

    Dallas-Fort Worth by withdrawing the fingers that divide minority population, in the enacted

    plan, into congressional districts 6, 12, 26 and 33. Districts 6, 12, and 26 generally retract to

    their population bases under the benchmark congressional plan. For example, in Tarrant County,

    the lightning bolt of CD 26 that included substantial Latino population in the predominantly

    Anglo, Denton County-based CD 26 is withdrawn. Similarly, the extension of CD 12 into

    African-American neighborhoods in Tarrant County and the extension of CD 6 into

    predominantly Latino areas of Dallas are also withdrawn. District 33 moves eastward to fill the

    space created by the retraction of CDs 6, 12, and 26 to their population bases, and it encompasses

    Case 5:11-cv-00360-OLG-JES-XR Document 660 Filed 02/16/12 Page 5 of 26

  • 8/3/2019 Joint Advisory on Interim Congressional Districts

    is undisturbed in Plan C226. Similarly, the boundaries of CD 32 in Dallas County remain almost

    exactly the same as the enacted plan. Also in Dallas County, CD 33 is shaped to create minimal

    changes to CD 30, an African-American majority district. Changes along the border of CD33

    and CD30 that lowered both districts compactness were made to honor Congresswoman Eddie

    Bernice Johnsons request to include specific areas in CD 30, including her home and office. 4

    See Feb. 15, 2012 Hearing Tr. at 356:615. The southern boundary of CD 33 accommodates the

    boundary of the enacted CD 12, reflecting the concerns of incumbent Kay Granger to retain

    certain parts of the City of Fort Worth. In Tarrant County, the boundary of CD 33 extends to

    take in Cowboys Stadium, home to the Dallas Cowboys football team. Notwithstanding the

    variety of competing interests that are accommodated by the boundaries of CD33, the districts

    compactness scores are within the State's acceptable range of compactness and are comparable to

    congressional districts 2 and 35. See Exhibit B, Plan C226, Red 315 Report.

    B. CD33 Is Not a Coalition DistrictBecause CD 33 encompasses much of the Dallas-Fort Worth areas population growth, it

    is both racially and politically diverse. Electorally, no one racial group has an exclusive ability

    to nominate and elect its preferred candidates. Although Latinos constitute the largest number of

    Case 5:11-cv-00360-OLG-JES-XR Document 660 Filed 02/16/12 Page 6 of 26

  • 8/3/2019 Joint Advisory on Interim Congressional Districts

    7/96

    Because African Americans and Latinos typically support different candidates in the

    Democratic Primary, District 33 is not a minority coalition opportunity district in which two

    different minority groups band together to form an electoral majority. Perry v. Perez, 132 S.

    Ct. at 944. Without a majority of voters of any particular race, CD33 can be expected to

    nominate and elect a candidate who has the cohesive support of one racial group and at least

    some crossover support from another group. It reflects the accepted wisdom that all voters must

    pull, haul, and trade to find common political ground. Johnson v. DeGrandy, 512 U.S. 997,

    1020 (1994).

    The boundaries of CD 33 very closely follow Plan C216, which was offered earlier in the

    litigation as a bipartisan proposal by Congressmen Cuellar and Canseco. The boundaries of CD

    33 also closely follow a proposal provided to the State during the 2011 legislative session by

    Representative Lamar Smith on behalf of the Texas Republican delegation. See Texas v. U.S.,

    Trial Exhibit DX536. The Texas Latino Redistricting Task Force maintains that CD 33

    represents carefully negotiated district boundaries that reflect the care given by the State of

    Texas to accommodate the concerns of congressional incumbents in Dallas-Fort Worth.

    The State of Texas maintains that Plan C226 is not an expression of state policy because,

    Case 5:11-cv-00360-OLG-JES-XR Document 660 Filed 02/16/12 Page 7 of 26

  • 8/3/2019 Joint Advisory on Interim Congressional Districts

    8/96

    C. CD33 Is Reasonably CompactProposed CD33 falls within the range of compactness of districts in the States enacted

    congressional plan. As in other urban districts, the constitutional requirement to zero out the

    population in districts, as well as factors such as working around existing Voting Rights Act

    districts and trying to include the locations of incumbents homes and district offices have a

    significant effect on district boundaries. See Exhibit A, Split VTDs from Unpopulated Blocks.

    In C185 and C226, CD2 is a majority Anglo district in Harris County and is less compact than

    CD33 in C226. Congressional District 18, an African-American opportunity district in the

    States enacted C185, contains a similar compactness score to CD33 in Plan C226. SeePerez

    Exhibit J-8; Exhibit B, Plan C226, Red 315 Report. No party has challenged the boundaries of

    CD18 as a racial gerrymander. The parties also note that SD12, which was used for the 1992

    election cycle, is very similar to CD33 in Plan C226. See Doc. 656 at 44. SD12 in the 1992

    redistricting plan has a shape and compactness similar to CD33 in C226 and demonstrates that

    such a district canand didexist in the past when the States mappers relied on traditional

    race-neutral redistricting criteria.

    In fact, examination of Plan C226s compactness scores in Tarrant and Dallas counties

    Metroplex within which it is situated. The district simply reflects the population and its growth

    in Dallas and Tarrant counties. CD33 in C226 has an HCVAP of 39.4%, SSVR of 35.8%, a

    BCVAP of 24%, and an Anglo CVAP of 33.5%. See Doc. 656-1 at 42.

    In Bush v. Vera, where the Supreme Court struck down certain Texas congressional

    districts as unconstitutional racial gerrymanders, the Court performed a fact-based analysis that

    included examining the racial and nonracial reasons proffered for the districts. With respect to

    CD30, the Supreme Court found it significant that CD30 elevated race over other traditional

    concerns such as partisanship. 517 U.S. at 96997. Nonetheless, the Supreme Court recognized

    a number of legitimate factors that could have led to the drawing of a noncompact CD30. For

    example, the Supreme Court acknowledged that Congresswoman Johnsons first proposal was

    compact but that five other congressmen would have been thrown into districts other than the

    ones they currently represent. Bush v. Vera, 517 U.S. at 967 (quoting lower court decision).

    Thus, the Supreme Court recognized that incumbency protection might explain as well as, or

    better than, race a States decision to depart from other traditional redistricting principles, such as

    compactness, in the drawing of bizarre district lines. Id.

    redistricting criteria and is tailored to address the specific harm alleged under Section 5, it is

    appropriate for the Court to incorporate that district in an interim congressional plan for the 2012

    elections.

    II. Congressional District 35Plan C226 creates CD 35, which is a new Latino opportunity district in Central Texas,

    and is identical to the CD 35 proposed in Plan C185. Because Texas enacted CD 35 as part of

    Plan C185, unless there is a likelihood of success on the merits of a Section 2 or constitutional

    claim against it, this Court has no authority to modify it. Perry v. Perez, 132 S. Ct. at 942. This

    Court must therefore evaluate any challenge to CD 35 under the likelihood-of-success standard

    because it has not been challenged by any party under Section 5. Nor could it be, since the

    Department of Justice Guidelines expressly excludes Shaw v. Reno claims from the scope of the

    Section 5 discriminatory purpose inquiry. U.S. Department of Justice, Guidance Concerning

    Redistricting Under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act: Notice, 76 Fed. Reg. 7470 (Feb. 9, 2011).

    As a result, unless Plaintiffs can meet their burden of showing why CD 35 cannot be part of the

    interim plan, this Court is properly constrained to include the district in any interim plan it

    adopts.

    12/96

    likelihood of success on the merits of their claim that race predominated over other

    considerations in the drawing of CD 35.

    It is well-established that legislatures are afforded the benefit of a presumption of good

    faith when they conduct redistricting. See Chen, 206 F.3d at 505 (The [Supreme] Court has

    clearly indicated that th[e] presumption [of good faith] may impact the assessment of the

    propriety of summary judgment in a suit challenging districts as racial gerrymanders.); see also

    Miller, 515 U.S. at 916 (The distinction between being aware of racial considerations and being

    motivated by them may be difficult to make. This evidentiary difficulty, together with the

    sensitive nature of redistricting and the presumption of good faith that must be accorded

    legislative enactments, requires courts to exercise extraordinary caution in adjudicating claims

    that a State has drawn district lines on the basis of race.).

    In Shaw v. Reno, the Supreme Court held that a plaintiff can challenge a

    reapportionment statute . . . by alleging that the legislation, though race-neutral on its face,

    rationally cannot be understood as anything other than an effort to separate voters into different

    districts on the basis of race, and that the separation lacks sufficient justification. 509 U.S. 630,

    649 (1993). A plaintiff raising a Shaw claim bears the significant burden of proving that racial

    Case 5:11-cv-00360-OLG-JES-XR Document 660 Filed 02/16/12 Page 12 of 26

  • 8/3/2019 Joint Advisory on Interim Congressional Districts

    13/96

    not believe that the mere presence of race in the mix of decision making factors, and even the

    desire to craft majority-minority districts, . . . alone automatically trigger[s] strict scrutiny. Id.

    at 514 (citations omitted). A plaintiffs heavy burden of establishing the predominance of race

    can be met either through direct evidence of the legislatures purpose or through circumstantial

    evidence, including, among other things, a districts demographics or shape. See Shaw v. Hunt,

    517 U.S. 899, 905 (1996);Miller, 515 U.S. at 916.

    If a plaintiff meets its heavy burden of proving racial predominance, the challenged

    district is subject to strict scrutiny, which means that the district must be narrowly tailored to

    further a compelling state interest. Vera, 517 U.S. at 976; see id. at 977 (A 2 district that is

    reasonably compact and regular, taking into account traditional districting principles . . . may

    pass strict scrutiny without having to defeat rival compact districts designed by plaintiffs experts

    in endless beauty contests.).

    B. CD35 Reflects a Variety of Race-Neutral ConsiderationsCD 35 joins communities from Travis and Bexar Counties and results in a district that

    contains 58.3% Latino voting age population, 51.9% Latino citizen voting age population, and

    45.0% Spanish surname voter registration. Exhibit B, Plan C226, Red 106 Report. The

    Case 5:11-cv-00360-OLG-JES-XR Document 660 Filed 02/16/12 Page 13 of 26

    population; in Plan C226, CD 35 is 29.4% Anglo voting age population and 58.3% Latino voting

    age population. Perez Exhibit J-1, Plan C100, Red 202 Report; Exhibit B, Plan C226, Red 202

    Report.10

    As was stated on the record during public redistricting committee hearings and the floor

    debate, the concept of this district was originally presented to the Legislature by the Texas Latino

    Redistricting Task Force in Public Plan C122. Perez Exhibit D-22 at A-2; Perez Exhibit J-62,

    Deposition of Ryan Downton at 114:1724. In determining where the four new congressional

    districts should be drawn, the Legislature took into consideration where the population growth

    had been throughout the state. Mr. Downton testified that there was significant population

    growth in Central Texas that would support the creation of a new congressional district. Perez

    Trial Tr. at 915:1722; see also Perez Exhibit D-43; Perez Exhibit J-58, Deposition of Doug

    Davis, 17:4-14 (explaining that the Legislature drew the new congressional districts based on

    population growth). In fact, the growth in the Latino community was so significant within

    Central Texas that the Legislature concluded the Latino population was sufficiently large and

    geographically compact such that it could create a Latino opportunity district that met the 50%

    citizen voting age population threshold. See Exhibit E, Perez Exhibit D-44; Exhibit F, Perez

    interest in southeast Austin and San Antonio and how the residents of south San Antonio have

    more in common with the residents of southeast Austin than with the residents of geographically

    closer Alamo Heights. Perez Trial Tr. at 556:10-557:6, 557:17-558:19, 559:1-17. Further, Mr.

    Downtons testimony showed that it is not unusual for areas in San Antonio and Austin to be

    combined in a congressional district. Id. at 944:11-22. San Antonio and Williamson County,

    which is north of Austin, were combined in Congressional District 21 for the 1996 special and

    general elections, the 1998 general election, the 2000 general election, the court-ordered map

    that was used for the 2002 election, and the legislatively drawn map used for the 2004 elections

    and the 2006 primaries. Perez Latino Task Force Exhibits 305306. In the benchmark

    congressional plan, CD 21 unites portions of San Antonio and the City of Alamo Heights with

    the City of Austin and even the Texas Capitol building.

    The record shows that in creating CD 35, the State accommodated the requests of various

    Democratic state legislators with respect to the boundary between CD 35 and CD 20 and also

    respected Guadalupe Countys request to be kept whole in the redistricting plan. See Perez Trial

    Tr. at 918:23-919:22, 985:21986:9. Additionally, Mr. Downton testified that certain areas in

    Travis and Bexar Counties were included within District 35 in order to keep Latino communities

    elected to political office). Mr. Downton testified that when drafting the new congressional

    plan he looked at possibilities for expanding minority representation. Perez Trial Tr. at 917:24-

    919:13. Nevertheless, even if Mr. Downton considered the racial composition of District 35, it

    is clear the Legislature considered many factors other than race. As the Court recognized in

    Shaw, mere consciousness of race in redistricting is an insufficient basis on which to trigger strict

    scrutiny where it is considered along with traditional redistricting principles. See Shaw, 517 U.S.

    at 905.

    The Texas Latino Redistricting Task Force maintains that CD 35 is a required district

    under section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and that it satisfies all of the requirements under

    Thornburg v. Gingles, 478 U.S. 30 (1986). See Doc. 416.

    C. CD35 is Reasonably Compact.Despite the adherence to these traditional districting principles, Plaintiffs point to the

    non-compact shape of CD 35 to support their claim that CD 35 was drawn predominantly on the

    basis of race in disregard of traditional districting principles. While the contours of CD 35 are

    not perfect, for purposes of a Shaw claim, its shape is relevant only for any light it may shed on

    the claim that race for its own sake, and not other districting principles, was the legislatures

    (1) perimeter to area score of 0.054 and (2) area to rubber band score of 3.64. See Exhibit B,

    Plan C226, Red 315 Report. CD 35 is not the least compact district in Plan C226 and is only

    slightly less compact than other districts in Plan C226. As a result, there is no evidence that CD

    35s shape indicates the predomination of race over traditional redistricting principles.

    Finally, it is worth noting that CD35, like CD 33 does not have the bizarre shape of any

    of the districts invalidated by the Supreme Court inBush v. Vera. E.g., 517 at 972 (According

    to the leading statistical study of relative district compactness and regularity, [the Harris County

    districts] are two of the three least regular districts in the country. (emphasis added)). The

    compactness scores for CD 35 exceed the scores for Anglo-majority CD 2 and are more than

    twice as compact as the scores for the districts invalidated inBush v. Vera. Compare Exhibit B,

    Plan C226, Red 315 Report, with Richard H. Pildes & Richard G. Niemi, Expressive Harms,

    Bizarre Districts, and Voting Rights: Evaluating Election-District Appearances AfterShaw v.

    Reno, 92 MICH.L.REV. 483, 565 tbl. 3 (1993).

    D. Split Precincts Do Not Indicate Improper Race-Based Decisionmaking.Although parties challenging CD35 point to the splitting of precincts as evidence that

    race predominated in its creation, they have offered no evidence to suggest how this practice

    along the border between CD 35 and Districts 20 and 23 in order to comply with the Voting

    Rights Act by maintaining appropriate Hispanic population levels in those areas. See Perez Trial

    Tr. at 917:24921:18. Other splits in precincts were necessary to keep neighboring CD 23 at or

    above the benchmark levels and to ensure that CD 35 had at least 50% HCVAP for purposes of

    the Voting Rights Act. See Texas v. U.S., Trial Tr. T2A at 95:16-96:3. Precincts were also split

    in order to make the boundaries smoother and more compact along the I-35 corridor in CD 35.

    See Perez Trial Tr. at 917:24-921:18.

    In Bush v. Vera, the testimonial and written record showed that the States motive in

    creating less compact districts was to maximize African American voting strength and draw a

    50% district no matter what it took. See 517 U.S. at 969. Here, because of the explosive

    population growth in the Latino community, it was easy to draw a Latino-majority district along

    the I-35 corridor from San Antonio to Austin. Perez Latino Task Force Exhibit 399; Perez

    Exhibit J-11; Perez Exhibit J-9. CD 35 also contains non-racial VTD splits, in contrast to the

    findings inBush v. Vera.

    CD 35 also respects city boundaries where possible. Both San Antonio and the City of

    Austin are larger than one congressional district and must be split in congressional redistricting.

    Because the parties challenging CD35 have not come close to carrying their burden of

    proving that race predominated over other considerations in CD35, there is no basis to conclude

    that a Fourteenth Amendment challenge to that district under Shaw is likely to succeed. See

    Chen, 206 F.3d at 521. Rather, the evidence reflects that CD 35 comports with race-neutral

    traditional districting principles. In addition to complying with equal population requirement for

    congressional districts, Texas took into account joining communities of interest, drawing a new

    district where significant population growth had occurred in the state, and compliance with the

    Voting Rights Act. Texas was well within its right to create a district in which Latino voters

    would have an opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice. This Court should therefore

    include CD 35 as proposed in C226 in the interim plan.

    CONCLUSION

    For the reasons stated above, the undersigned parties respectfully submit that any interim

    congressional plan must include CD35 as enacted by the Texas Legislature and included in Plan

    C226. The undersigned further submit that CD33, as drawn in Plan C226, is an appropriate and

    minimally disruptive remedy for the alleged Section 5 violation in the configuration of

    congressional districts in Dallas/Fort Worth.
