Yes. Section 421(d)(1)(C) was added specifically to ensure that Texas, or any other State with a similarly structured system, would qualify as an ``effective system'' under the statute. This provision has been referred to as the ``Texas carve-out'' throughout debate over this bill. It is appropriate in light of the changes Texas enacted in order to improve its capital-representation system just 3 years ago.
