The equipment is all here in Harris County and we are <br />prepared to instruct each of you in all phases of its operation. <br />There is presently ligation in the federal court in Dallas, Texas, involving the House <br />Legislative and Senatorial lines as well as a federal suit in Austin, Texas, involving <br />the Congressional and State Board of Education lines. Further, the Justice Department <br />has ruled the Legislative lines must be redrawn. As a result, we in Harris County must <br />await action of these courts to determine boundary lines. <br />By state law, new lines, as well as new voter registration certificates, are to be effect- <br />ive on March 1, 1982. Some 80 new election precincts were created in the re-districting. <br />The Commissioners' Court cannot redraw or set election precinct lines which precludes <br />the voter registrar from mailing new voter registration certificates. It wo~_it~l be cay <br />recommendation that you discuss the above with your Attorney to determine your course <br />c,f action relative to an April 3, 1982, election. <br />:CE we can help in any way we will be happy to assist. <br />Yours very truly, <br />(I1s s .)
