There is no central listing of member office public e-mail addresses. Each member of Congress establishes their office's policy related to the processing and management of e-mail. Generally, if a member has a public e-mail address, it can be found on the member's website. The office may list a public e-mail address or provide a form directly on the member's website. The U.S. House of Representatives does not provide a listing of public e-mail addresses for the elected Representatives.
The Find Your Representative service matches the ZIP code information you provide with a list of congressional districts. If you receive an error due to a missing ZIP code or incorrect member information, please use the Contact Webmaster form to report the problem. Select the appropriate error category (Report an error in the Find Your Representative service.) and provide as much information as possible to assist us in researching the problem. Please be sure to include: Your Street Address, City, State and ZIP code, the member or congressional district information you are trying to reach and the member or congressional district the service is reporting that you feel is in error.
No. The webmaster will not forward messages to congressional offices. If you are having problems contacting your representative, you can report the problem using the Contact Webmaster form, write or call your elected representative, or visit the member's website for alternate contact information.
If you know who your representative is but you are unable to contact them using their contact form, the Clerk of the House maintains addresses and phone numbers of all House members and Committees, or you may call (202) 224-3121 for the U.S. House switchboard operator. In addition, you may choose to visit your member's website directly for further information.
The Find Your Representative service is provided as a public resource for identifying and contacting a constituent's elected representative. There is currently no restriction on a link being posted to the Find Your Representative page at -your-representative to facilitate constituents in expressing their concerns and issues to their representative in Congress.
Send comments about the Find Your Representative service to the webmaster. Please note that messages for a specific representative sent to the webmaster will not be forwarded to the representative.
On May 31, 2011, Governor Perry added congressional redistricting to the list of topics to be considered by the 1st Called Session of the 82nd Legislature. Below you will find resources and information on congressional redistricting in Texas.
How many congressional seats did Texas gain after the 2010 Census?
Texas gained 4 seats, giving it a total of 36 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
What will be the average population of each Texas Congressional district?
According to the Texas Legislative Council's Redistricting website, the "ideal," or average, population of each congressional district in Texas is 698,488, based on 36 districts. For comparison, in 2001, the ideal district population was 651,619, based on 32 districts (House Research Organization, Census 2010: Implications for Texas)
Where can I find data on current U.S. Congressional districts in Texas?
Maps, socioeconomic profiles, election reports, and population counts for Texas congressional districts are available on the Congressional Districts page of the Texas Legislative Council's Redistricting website. Similar data for individual districts is also available in Who Represents Me?
What are the current congressional redistricting bills and where are maps of the proposed districts?
At the time of this post, The Texas Legislature Online shows seven bills filed during the 1st Called Session of the 82nd Legislature related to congressional redistricting. Proposed maps are available on the Texas Legislative Council's Redistricting website.
How can I view congressional redistricting bills from previous legislative sessions?
The Legislative Reference Library has compiled a list of all redistricting bills introduced in the Texas Legislature from the 17th Legislature (1881) through the 81st Legislature (2009). Go to Congressional Redistricting Bills in Texas, 17th-81st Legislatures.
Is congressional redistricting required by the constitution?
Yes. The United States constitution calls for reapportionment of congressional seats according to the population from a decennial census (Section 2, Article I). The Texas Constitution requires the legislature to redistrict Texas house and senate seats during its first regular session following publication of each United States decennial census (Section 28, Article III). For additional information on legal requirements, see Texas Redistricting - Legal Requirements for the Process.

**There was a 60-day transition from the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program to the Affordable Connectivity Program in January 2022 and February 2022. Households that were enrolled in the EBB Program as of December 31, 2021 continued to receive a monthly benefit of up to $50 during the transition period.
ACP Funding Summary by GeographyThe ACP Funding Summary by Geography file shows a summary of total ACP support claimed by state, county, ZIP code, and congressional district. USAC will continue to update the data on a monthly basis. Monthly totals may adjust as new claims are submitted or as past claims are revised.
The following files include EBB and ACP households and claims by zip code and county. USAC will continue to update the data on a monthly basis. Previously, these files included both enrollment and claims data. However, starting on November 1, enrollment and claims data are published in separate files.
Providers begin certifying claims on the 1st of the month for the prior data month (i.e., for example, on May 1 providers can begin to certify claims for the April 2022 data month). To be reimbursed within the current month, providers must certify the claims by the 15th of that month.
ACP providers have up to two months to submit original claims or upward revisions of previous claims. ACP providers must fully pass through ACP support to eligible households each month in the form of a discount regardless of when they file a claim for reimbursement. Each month, we will update the data to reflect claims certified during the two-month window.
The Zip Code files allow users to view the total enrolled households by zip code and data month with a breakout by verification method. The columns that represent new enrollments for each category reflect the change in subscribers from the prior month, which include all newly enrolled subscribers net of subscribers who may have been de-enrolled. The file also includes claims by zip code and data month with breakout between monthly broadband service and connected devices. A small number of claims may occur via manual processes outside of the system due to FCC-issued waivers or other ad-hoc processes. Those claims are not reflected in this table.
The County files allow users to view the total enrolled households by county and data month with a breakout by verification method. The columns that represent new enrollments for each category reflect the change in subscribers from the prior month, which include all newly enrolled subscribers net of subscribers who may have been de-enrolled. The file also includes claims by county and data month with breakout between monthly broadband service and connected devices. A small number of claims may occur via manual processes outside of the system due to FCC-issued waivers or other ad-hoc processes. Those claims are not reflected in this table.
The United States is divided into 435 congressional districts, each with a population of about 710,000 individuals. Each district elects a representative to the U.S. House of Representatives for a two-year term. Representatives are also called congressmen/congresswomen.
