The Claim

Texas's 23rd congressional district runs along much of Texas's border with Mexico from the San Antonio area toward El Paso.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

Official Texas and federal district maps support this description. Texas’s 23rd Congressional District includes areas near San Antonio and then follows a long stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border westward to part of El Paso County. The claim accurately summarizes the district’s geography.

Caveats

  • "San Antonio area" is geographic shorthand; the district includes parts of the broader area rather than the entire city.
  • Congressional district lines can change after redistricting, so the statement depends on the current official map.
  • "Toward El Paso" is accurate because the district reaches into El Paso County, not necessarily all of El Paso in every common-sense reading.
