Description

PUBLISHED This case arises out of Bexar County's redistricting of its Justice of the Peace and Constable Precincts following the 2000 national census. The plaintiffs contended that the redistricting plan impermissibly dilutes the votes of Hispanics in violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and that it violates Article V, Section 18 of the Texas Constitution. The district court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs on their federal law claim and denied relief on the state constitutional claim. After carefully reviewing the evidence adduced at trial, we hold that there is no legal or factual basis for the court's finding of vote dilution and that the plaintiffs are entitled to no relief under federal law. We reverse in part, affirm in part and vacate the district court's injunctive relief.
