I don't have reliable, up-to-date information about who currently represents Texas's 5th congressional district. Congressional seats change through elections, and I can't verify current officeholders with certainty.

To find your accurate, current U.S. representative, I'd recommend:

1. **House.gov** – Visit https://www.house.gov and use the "Find Your Representative" tool by entering your ZIP code.

2. **GovTrack.us** – Provides current member information by district.

3. **Your state's election website** – Often lists current federal representatives.

One important note: the person who represents you depends on your specific address, not just the district number. If you're unsure which district you live in, the ZIP code lookup tools above will help identify both your district and your representative.

Would you like tips on how to contact your representative once you've identified them?
