Summary
U.S. congressional districts covering <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_County,_Texas" class="extiw" title="en:Travis County, Texas">en:Travis County, Texas</a> (outlined in red) in 2002, left, and 2004. In 2003, Republicans in the Texas legislature redistricted the state, diluting the voting power of the heavily Democratic county by parceling its residents out to more Republican districts.
Created by me using Microsoft MapPoint 2004 and data from <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://nationalatlas.gov">http://nationalatlas.gov</a>
The district in orange is the infamous "Fajita strip" district 25 (intended as a Democratic district), while the other two districts (10 and 21) are intended to elect Republicans.
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas%27s_25th_congressional_district" class="extiw" title="en:Texas's 25th congressional district">District 25</a> has now been redrawn as a result of the 2006 U.S. Supreme Court decision, and is no longer a "Fajita strip".
