The district is wholly within Fort Bend County and accounts for nearly a quarter (24%) of the counties representation in the chamber. It includes the cities of Cumings, Richmond, and Pecan Grove. The district also includes portions of Katy, with the rest of the population dispersed though unincorporated areas of the county.[2][3]

The district was represented by Jacey Jetton from January 10, 2023, to June of the same year when he was called to attend Basic Training and Artillery School at Fort Sill, Oklahoma for an expected duration of four months. As the Texas Constitution instructs, the representative designated a replacement, ultimately choosing his wife, Fanny Jetton, who holds similar political beliefs. At the time, she held experience in the financial sector.[4][5]
