Post-Alabama, could Texas congressional district maps be overturned?

In the wake of the Supreme Court ruling a few weeks ago that Alabama violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act on Congressional redistricting, could recent suits against Texas prevail? The Trib takes a look. There's also timing questions of whether this would be SCOTUS decided before 2024 primary election dates, and if so, with the every-other-year banana republic Lege, if the solution would be a judge's election map for 2024 then the Lege doing a new one for 2026. Given Tex-ass past history, I'm assuming the state hopes to stall out past 2024 and then argue that current maps are a fait accompli so leave them alone.
