Texas's 27th congressional district, Congressional district in Texas Coastal Bend, United States
Texas's 27th congressional district stretches from Corpus Christi on the Gulf Coast inland toward Bastrop County near Austin. The district combines coastal communities with inland territories and includes the city of Victoria.
The district was established in 1983 following the 1980 census redistricting. Solomon P. Ortiz served as its first congressional representative, holding the seat until 2011.
The district reflects the diversity of South Texas, where Hispanic and Anglo communities have built lives alongside each other, shaping local traditions and customs.
Residents can check their district membership by entering their address on the official website to find their congressional representative. This also provides access to news and services related to their representation.
The district unusually combines three distinct regions: the coastal city of Corpus Christi, the inland city of Victoria, and areas near Austin. This geographic span creates representation that bridges very different parts of the state.
