A request to block the use of new voting maps has been denied by a Texas appeals court. The maps in question were drawn after the March primary elections. They are set to be used in the November elections in Galveston County.

The appeals court decision allows the maps to be used as planned. Further details about the court's decision and the voting maps are available from the source.

The denial of the request means that Galveston County will proceed with the new voting maps for the upcoming elections.
