If the redistricting is perceived as being fair, there should be no problem...You'd think there wouldn't be. But the bottom line is that the Dems want to set the rules. The Dems want to draw the lines to their advantage, or ensure that whoever else draws them does so to their advantage. They don't care about fairness. They care about regaining the House by whatever means necessary.

You have to admit that a six seat shift (say that three times fast) does raise questions... My, I am a numbers guy. A majority republican Texas Delegation is not anything to worry about but if you have a Texas, California, Florida, and New York Governor being perceived as gerrymandering unfairly, we have to do something to show people that Republicans are not unfair or abusive when in power...
If the numbers make the case for the Republicans in Texas, they should be out front making the case... Right now, I am concerned because I am hearing from refugees in New Mexico instead of hearing defensible facts from the ones who are in Texas trying to get something done...
