The 27th district was created as a result of the redistricting cycle after the 1980 census.
The district is slightly less than 50% Hispanic, down from the 70% Hispanic population in the 2002–2010 cycles when the district reached from Corpus Christi to Brownsville.[7]
In August 2017, a panel of federal judges ruled that the 27th district is unconstitutional, arguing that it displaces a Hispanic-opportunity district.[8] However, the United States Supreme Court later reversed the ruling, pronouncing the district constitutional in Abbott v. Perez.
