Texas's 27th congressional district of theUnited States House of Representatives covers the coastal bend ofTexas'sGulf Coast consisting ofCorpus Christi andVictoria up toBastrop County nearAustin. Its current representative is RepublicanMichael Cloud. Cloud was elected to the district in aspecial election on June 30, 2018, to replace former Republican representativeBlake Farenthold, who had resigned on April 6.^[5]^[6]

The 27th district was created as a result of theredistricting cycle after the1980 census.

The district is slightly less than 50%Hispanic, down from the 70% Hispanic population in the 2002–2010 cycles when the district reached from Corpus Christi toBrownsville.^[7]

In August 2017, a panel of federal judges ruled that the 27th district is unconstitutional, arguing that it displaces a Hispanic-opportunity district.^[8] However, theUnited States Supreme Court later reversed the ruling, pronouncing the district constitutional inAbbott v. Perez.
