That's where TX is with redistricting. The state is already heavily gerry-mandered, so while taking Rs from one district and putting them in another might make a few D districts more competitive, it also makes the districts from the Rs were removed more competitive, too. Not only might they not win the districts they hope to win, they might lose the districts the formerly safe districts, too.
