The formal annexation of North Forest ISD into HISD is on hold, according to Department of Justice (DOJ).

The DOJ has placed a hold on the determination of the proposed annexation until all changes affecting voting are reviewed and approved by the Attorney General in accordance to the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Texas Education Agency has been asked to submit a response to the request for voting designations, after which the DOJ will have 60 days to review their response and make their determination or request additional information if needed.
