Summary

Kilgarlin v. Hill — Opinion of the Court

If other districts cannot be reformed within county lines in such a way as to afford Dallas and Bexar Counties another representative and at the same time to afford the re-formed districts constitutional representation, we would have to meet the question whether the state policy advanced here justifies the seeming [3] underrepresentation in Dallas and Bexar Counties, which is 6.42% and 7.59% respectively.

Kilgarlin v. Hill — Opinion of the Court

Appellants alleged that in addition to the inequalities inherent in the floterial districts, H.B. 195 also infringed Fourteenth Amendment rights because in the remaining legislative districts of the State there were unacceptable variations from the principle of Reynolds v. Sims that among legislative districts the population per representative should be substantially equal.
