Was Herseth involved in Texas re-districting fight?

A sharp-witted reader, after reflecting on the fact that Stephanie Herseth was in Texas last summer during the re-destricting fight according to a report in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, notes this:

Was she part of the legal team down there in the redistricting fight? (I would guess). All very normal, but hardly independent. As partisan as it gets.

Quite right.
