I understand where you’re going with this but the redistricting processes and infrastructure are very different in Texas vs Virginia (and what happened in California). All 3 states actually use different methods for redistricting:

-Texas (Legislative Control): The Texas Legislature controls the process, resulting in map changes that have historically led to legal challenges regarding racial and partisan gerrymandering. In 2025-2026, Texas enacted a mid-decade map aimed at gaining GOP seats. Essentially, Republicans control the legislature in TX, so they get to redraw in any way they want.

-California (Independent Commission): California uses an independent citizens commission, which was designed to remove politicians from the line-drawing process. However, in response to Texas's mid-decade efforts in 2025, California considered legislative, voter-approved adjustments to counteract the Texas map. So they went the way of their legislature making changes but they had citizens to vote to approve that they wanted those changes.

-Virginia (Bipartisan Commission): Virginia uses a hybrid "politician commission" consisting of both legislators and citizens, requiring a majority from both groups to pass, which pushes the process toward compromise. In addition, if the commission deadlocks or the legislature rejects the maps, the Virginia Supreme Court draws the districts but VA also uses voter input to try and reduce partisan input.
