The University of Texas at Austin sits within multiple Texas House of Representatives districts for the Texas Legislature. Specifically, parts of the UT Austin campus and surrounding area are represented by multiple state representatives across adjacent districts, reflecting the city-wide and campus-adjacent footprint of the university. Key points to note:
- UT Austin’s campus spans across more than one state legislative district boundary, so there isn’t a single Texas House representative for the entire campus. The district boundaries have shifted with redistricting and can place campus areas in different districts depending on the exact location (and over time).
- For exact representation, you would need to identify the representative for the specific Texas House district that corresponds to the campus address or the particular area (e.g., core campus vs. West Campus). In recent configurations, the Austin area has been divided among several districts, and the campus can lie within at least one of those districts.
- If you’re looking for the current Texas House representative for a precise UT Austin address, you can use the Texas Legislature’s district lookup or the state House find-your-representative tool by entering the campus ZIP or street address.
If you’d like, provide a specific UT Austin address or ZIP code, and the exact current district assignments can be determined.
