Disclaimer All computer generated matters provided in the reports, including statistical ratios or formulas, are derived from information taken directly from Public Law 94-171 files of the United States Census Bureau. Neither Map Resource. Inc. nor McGinnis. Lochridge & Kilgore, L.L.P. is responsible for errors which may occur in the PL94-171 data. Public Law 94-171 required that all voter tabulation districts (VTDs) follow census block boundaries. In many cases. voting districts had been drawn in a manner which did not follow a census block boundary. This required the State of Texas. acting in conjunction with the State Data Center and the Texas Legislative Council, to move the actual voting district boundary to coincide with a nearby census block boundary for tabulation purposes only. The resulting VTD was no longer "actual" . but an approximation of the voting district referred to as a "pseudo voting district." Every reasonable effort will be made to conform the pseudo voting district to actual boundaries. However. due to the nature of the available data base, and the requirements of Public Law 94-171. there may be a necessity to alter voting district boundaries to match the census block format. In this event. every reasonable effort will be made to insure accuracy while retaining the integrity of the data base upon which reapportionment must rely. V\.
