Texas's 23rd congressional district

Rare card · No. 36160

Texas's 23rd congressional district stretches across the southwestern portion of Texas. It is a majority Hispanic district and has been vacant since Representative Tony Gonzales resigned in April 2026. The 23rd district runs along the majority of Texas's border with Mexico, north of the Rio Grande. It stretches from western San Antonio to El Paso, encompassing numerous county seats and towns of regional economic importance. The district is predominantly rural, with most of its population concentrated in San Antonio's western suburbs. Campaigning is difficult due to its size and disparate influences; the population density is one of the lowest in any congressional district. Economic activities include farming, ranching, oil, and mineral extraction; also recreation, manufacturing, and tourism, as it encompasses all of Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park.
