Texas District 27 of the United States House of Representatives is a Congressional district that serves the coastal bend of Texas' Gulf Coast consisting of Corpus Christi and Victoria up to Bastrop County near Austin and Wharton County near Houston. The most recent Representative was Republican Blake Farenthold, who resigned on April 6, 2018.
The district is slightly less than 50% Hispanic, down from the 70% Hispanic population in the 2002-2010 cycles when the District reached from Corpus Christi to Brownsville.
In August 2017, a panel of federal judges ruled that the 27th district is unconstitutional, since it displaces a Hispanic-opportunity district.
