Claims and the record
After the Democratic majority on Commissioners Court approved new precinct maps in 2021, Radack sued Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and the court. He alleged a violation of the Texas Open Meetings Act, claiming the specific map (drawn by Commissioner Rodney Ellis) was not posted for public review at least 72 hours before the meeting at which it was adopted. The maps shifted the balance of the court further toward Democrats. Radack later voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit without prejudice in 2022.
