Answer:

For Congressional redistricting in 2003.

Explanation:

<em>What are special sessions?</em>

Special session amounts to legislative overtime. If there is a stalemate on some of the key issues in the government, a governor can decide to call for a special session. During special sessions, bills that are discussed should be on governor's agenda. Legislators have a period of 30 days to do their work, and it can be called for at any time.

<em>Texas Redistricting</em>

2003 Texas redistricting is a contraversional state plan for defining new Congresional districts. In 2002 Republicans won the control of the Texas state legislature for the first time in 130 years. Their plan was to work on establishing a majority in the House of Representatives seats from Texas, which was held by their own party. It is said that this redistricting violated the Voting Rights Act and was settled by the Supreme Court of the United States of America in a case called <em>League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry</em> in 2006. The Court ruled that only one District violated the aforementioned act.
