True or False: The Texas House has always had single-member districts.

The statement that the Texas House has always had single-member districts is false. Historically, the Texas House of Representatives used a combination of different electoral methods, including multi-member districts, during various periods. Before the 1970s, many districts elected more than one representative, creating multi-member districts, which allowed multiple members to represent a broader area. It wasn't until the 1970s that Texas transitioned to a system of exclusively single-member districts, which improved representation by ensuring that each district elects one representative. This change addressed issues of dilution of votes and increased accountability. Therefore, the Texas House has not always utilized single-member districts, making the claim incorrect.
