336 TEXAS ALMANAC.-1952-1953.
The Fifty-second Leg-
islature, 1951, redis-
tricted for representa-
tion in the State Sen-
ate, on basis of the
number of "qualified
electors," accepting the
number of electors as
indicated by the poll-
tax lists, as basis for
reapportionment. (See
Art. III, Sec. 25, of
State Constitution,
printed elsewhere in
this volume. See index
for page reference.)
This was the first re-
apportionment to sena-
torial districts since
the Thirty-seventh Leg-
islature redistricted in
1921. (Redistricting forTexas State Senatorial
Districts, Population, 1950
(As redistricted in 1951.)the Lower House is based upon distri-
bution of population as shown by the
federal census, and redistricting for
the Senate on basis of electors, but the
two houses are usually redistricted
concurrently.)
Below are given senatorial districts
with counties in each. For comparative
purposes with the Representatives' dis-
tricts, population of each district is
given below, rather than- the number of
qualified electors on basis of which
senatorial districts are formed.Note.-See also
