Fort Worth is too large to sit inside one congressional district. The city is split across three main seats in the U.S. House: the 12th District, represented by Craig Goldman (R); the 33rd District, represented by Marc Veasey (D); and the 24th District, represented by Beth Van Duyne (R). A portion of Tarrant County also falls inside the 6th District as of January 2026 under the map Texas adopted in August 2025. Which of these Fort Worth congressional districts you belong to depends on your street address, not your ZIP code.
Which District Covers Your Part of Fort Worth
The three primary districts break down roughly by geography:
- The 12th District covers western Fort Worth, including areas near Texas Christian University, and reaches into Parker County. It takes in much of the western half of Tarrant County.1Texas Department of Transportation. Congressional District 12 – 119th Congress
- The 33rd District covers central and eastern Fort Worth, including neighborhoods with large Black and Hispanic populations, and stretches east into parts of Dallas County.
- The 24th District runs through northern Fort Worth and the suburban corridor between Fort Worth and Dallas, crossing the Tarrant-Dallas county line.
These are broad descriptions. District lines can run down the middle of a street, and the 2025 map moved some boundaries. The 6th District, for example, now includes part of Tarrant County. Treat the geography above as orientation, not confirmation.
Your Representative and How to Reach Them
Each of the three main Fort Worth districts is served by a different member of the 119th Congress (2025–2027).

These district offices do more than track legislation. They handle constituent services, meaning the staff can intervene on your behalf when a federal agency stops responding. Stalled passport applications, VA claims, Social Security problems, and immigration case delays are the common ones. You do not need to travel to Washington; a call or visit to the district office is the right starting point.
How to Confirm Your District by Address
The most common mistake is assuming your ZIP code identifies your district. It usually does not. A single Fort Worth ZIP code often straddles two or more congressional boundaries, so a ZIP-only lookup can return the wrong result or multiple results.
Two tools give you a reliable answer. The U.S. House of Representatives runs a “Find Your Representative” tool that starts with a ZIP and narrows from there.6U.S. House of Representatives. Find Your Representative For a precise result, use the Texas Legislature’s “Who Represents Me?” tool at wrm.capitol.texas.gov, which accepts a full street address and returns your federal, state, and local representatives together.
What Changed in 2025
In August 2025, the Texas Legislature adopted a new congressional map after the U.S. Department of Justice raised concerns about four existing districts. The new lines shifted demographics in several districts and reshaped boundaries across the state, including in Tarrant County.7Supreme Court of the United States. Abbott v. League of United Latin American Citizens
The map was challenged in court. A federal district court initially blocked it, but on December 4, 2025, the Supreme Court allowed Texas to use the new map for the 2026 elections, saying the state was “likely to succeed on the merits.”7Supreme Court of the United States. Abbott v. League of United Latin American Citizens The underlying lawsuit is still active, so the map used in 2026 could change again for future elections. If you last checked your district before 2025, check again.
Committees Your Representative Sits On
A representative’s committee assignments determine which policy areas they can shape directly. Two of Fort Worth’s three representatives sit on the same committee, which is unusual.
Craig Goldman serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, with seats on the subcommittees for Energy, Commerce and Manufacturing and Trade, and Communications and Technology.8Congressman Craig Goldman. Committees Marc Veasey also serves on Energy and Commerce, on the subcommittees for Commerce and Manufacturing and Trade, Energy, and Health.9Congressman Marc Veasey. Committees and Caucuses Between them, Fort Worth has a voice from each party on energy policy, telecommunications, and healthcare legislation.
Beth Van Duyne sits on the House Ways and Means Committee, which handles federal tax and trade policy, and the House Small Business Committee, where she chairs the Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Tax, and Capital Access.10United States Representative Beth Van Duyne. Committees and Caucuses All federal tax legislation must move through Ways and Means, so Van Duyne’s office is the most direct contact for tax and trade concerns affecting Fort Worth businesses.
