American legislative district
The Texas House of Representatives 49th district represents a central portion Travis County. The current representative is Gina Hinojosa, who has represented the district since 2017.[1][2]
Following the 2021 redistricting, the district includes much of central Austin, including the Texas State Capitol Building and a stretch of Austin's historic Sixth Street entertainment and bar district. The district also encompasses the small city of Sunset Valley.[2]
Major highway I-35 acts as an eastern border for much of the district, separating it from Texas House district 46.
