AWOL Texas Dems & Congressional Elections con't

Having realized I wasted much of my time after work yesterday, I've been trying to find what I really need to continue: the permanent residential addresses of Texas House members. And perhaps I'm just doing it wrong, but I can't find them. I don't know if such information is publicly available or what (if any) legalities apply to obtaining it.

I tried, but since it's the weekend, no one of any use is available on the phone at the Elections Division of the Texas Secretary of State. Ditto for the clerks at the House. I searched through most of the Texas Election Code that should be relevant to this, but struck out. I'll keep trying on Monday.

So in the meantime, check out the Texas Redistricting RedViewer, a Texas Legislative Council feature that allows you to view, interact with, and compare various redistricting plans. There are also deeply interesting population and election analysis reports.

The current map is Plan 01151C. The one which was proposed is Plan 01180C.

UPDATE(10/12/2003 9:33pm)
Big News: a plan has been finalized and passed by both the House and the Senate.
