With Democratic members of the Texas legislature recently hitting the interstate road to try to stop US House redistricting legislation, I thought this was an interesting, fairly concise history of the practice from the Texas Tribune.

@AZ,
The 2/3 quorum was in the 1836, 1845, and 1876 constitutions.

The article was in error about the 1996 election.
After some districts enacted by the Democrats when Ann Richards was governor were declared unconstitutional, the results of the primaries were voided. Special elections were held concurrently with the general election in November of 1996. 13 districts were special elections and included Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, US Taxpayer, Socialist Worker, and independent candidates. Some districts were rematches of a partisan primary. Three districts required a runoff which occurred in December.
17 districts were conventional elections with nominees of the Democratic, Republican, Natural Law, and Libertarian parties on the ballot.
