Aransas County Commissioners Court on a November morning voted to table a proposed order to revise county election precincts after legal counsel advised recent court rulings and pending litigation prevent the county from adopting the changes.

Speaker 6 moved to approve Order O-19-2025 to revise Aransas County election precincts to comply with changes in congressional district boundaries under House Bill 4 of the 89th Texas Legislature. The county attorney, identified in the discussion as Speaker 8, advised the court that, "this is gonna have to be tabled, in light of recent litigation and court rulings on this," saying the county lacked authority without related changes to correctional districts. Commissioners then moved and voted to table the item; the vote was recorded as unanimous 'Aye.'

The court did not adopt the precinct map and gave no new timetable for reconsideration. Commissioners noted the procedural limitation rather than debating the substance of any proposed lines. No amendment or substitute map was approved at the meeting.

Next steps: court staff and counsel will monitor litigation and bring the item back only when state-level requirements or court rulings permit the county to act.
