ABOUT THE 5TH DISTRICT

The Fifth District takes in Dallas neighborhoods such as Lake Highlands, Lakewood, and White Rock Lake. Much of East Dallas and a significant portion of Garland are located within the Fifth District, as well as all of Mesquite, Seagoville and Sunnyvale.

The Dallas County portion of the Fifth District is also home to the beautiful White Rock Lake, some of the finest schools in Texas, and thousands of special events like the annual Mesquite Championship Rodeo.

The Fifth District is also home to an expanse of six rural counties that sweep through East Texas. These counties include: Kaufman, Henderson, Anderson, Van Zandt, Wood and Cherokee counties.

These rural areas and small towns are home to events like the Canton First Monday Trade Days, hundreds of cow-calf operations, thousands of small businesses and some of the richest history that Texas has to offer.
