The biggest problem I see is that even now, many residents of (and candidates in) TX are unaware of what district they will vote in/run for. Primaries are have already been delayed, and there's concern that we may experience another delay-- which is costing the state a LOT of money, and the candidate themselves are beginning to complain that it's costing their campaigns money too.

So I'm pretty sure that sooner rather than later, a court-drawn map will get accepted and put into place. All in all, once it hit the courts, the process has been expedited. So maybe another three(?) weeks before another map is considered and three weeks for another ruling.
