House District 48 currently includes parts of the Austin, Cedar Park, and Leander in addition to the cities of Rollingwood, Westlake Hills, Lago Vista, Jonestown, and the Village of Volente. The district also encompasses portions of unincorporated Travis County and the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve. Residents of HD 48 attend one of six school districts - Austin ISD, Eanes ISD, Lago Vista ISD, Leander ISD, Marble Falls ISD, or Pflugerville ISD.
The new House map approved during the most recent legislative session, included significant changes to District 48. That map is currently under legal scrutiny and a final determination has not been made as to whether or not it complies with the federal Voting Rights Act. Although the changes made to Travis County legislative districts are not in question, we are waiting to post information about the new HD 48 until after a final map is approved.
