The district was created in 1875 and has seen several territorial adjustments since then as the Dallas-Fort Worth region grew. Political majorities shifted over the decades with social changes in suburban and rural areas.
The district population reflects contemporary Texas demographics with 44.9% White, 33.8% Hispanic, 13.6% Black, and 3.6% Asian residents.
The district maintains offices for constituent inquiries and concerns related to federal agencies. Residents can attend regular town hall meetings or submit written requests for assistance.
A special election in summer 2021 led to a rare runoff contest between candidates of the same party. The outcome reflected the changing political landscape of suburban districts in Texas.
