LDS (Legislative Demographic Service) can provide legislative and district information in an electronic format. Contact Semarca at 512/343-1049 for more information and prices.
In order to load the legislator and district data, you must first COPY the files into your Q:\ drive. Once you do that, then you can load your data. It will not run from the CD.
Once the files are copied, go to...

The LDS District and Legislator Load Form window will open. The necessary files will automatically be filled in.
Select the "load legislators" button
Select the "load zip code districts" - remember - this will take a long time to run.
It is no longer necessary to enter your states abbreviation when choosing the input file names. SAMS should list them automatically.
