Three Republican state legislators will have to answer questions under oath in depositions related to the Department of Justice's lawsuit against Texas over the latest statewide redistricting maps.

Driving the news: The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a request from the state to shield state Reps. Ryan Guillen, Brooks Landgraf and John Lujan from testifying about the state's redistricting process.

Why it matters: The Biden administration and voting rights groups claim the maps that were drawn last year violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act by intentionally discriminating against non-white voters in West Texas and the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Yes, but: Texas Republicans say the new maps are fair and hope this case might lead to a change in federal voting laws.

What they're saying: In their application to the high court, attorneys for the lawmakers claim they have "legislative immunity."

• "The legislators' depositions will probe the very innerworkings of the legislative process, examining the legislators' thoughts, impressions, and motivations for their legislative acts," Taylor A.R. Meehan, an attorney with Consovoy McCarthy, wrote in the suit.

The other side: U.S. solicitor general Elizabeth Prelogar wrote in the government's opposition brief that this type of compelled testimony is routine.

Of note: The justices rejected the shield request in a one-line order with no explanation or dissent.

Texas authorities have relayed and then later retracted multiple key details about the school shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde that killed 19 kids and two teachers and injured at least 17 people last week.

Why it matters: State authorities and local police face criticism and questioning on why it took so long for officers to confront and stop the gunman.

The big picture: New details about mass shootings typically emerge as investigators synthesize evidence they've gathered and release vetted information.

Yes, but: Even elected Texas officials have said they were initially given bad information that they relayed publicly, creating confusion for the public.

• Abbott said last week that he was initially "misled" on the timeline and the events of the shooting and that he was "livid."

What to watch: The Department of Justice announced Sunday that it is reviewing local law enforcement's response to the shooting "to provide an independent account of law enforcement actions and responses that day."

The details Texas officials have backtracked on

Texas authorities first said the school's hired resource officer confronted the gunman before he gained access to the school.

• But Texas Department of Public Safety director Steven McCraw later backtracked on that detail.

McCraw previously said the gunman entered the school through a door that had been propped open by a teacher before the shooting started.

• But Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson Travis Considine said Tuesday that investigators determined the teacher had propped open the door before the shooting with a rock, but removed it after hearing gunshots outside and closed the door, but it did not lock.

Dallas residents will soon have the option of Walmart orders delivered by drone.

Why it matters: This will be the first large-scale drone delivery operation in the U.S. So far, drone deliveries have been available in only a few small towns, with customers selecting from a short list of items, writes Axios' Joann Muller.

Driving the news: Walmart's DroneUp delivery network will expand to 34 sites by the end of the year, potentially reaching 4 million U.S. households, the retailer said.

• Drone delivery will be available 8am to 8pm from at least three Walmart stores in each city.

Zoom out: The new markets also include Phoenix, Tampa, Orlando, Salt Lake City and Richmond, Va. (Walmart already has limited drone delivery in the company's home state of Arkansas.)

Details: Shoppers will be able to order anything from Tylenol to diapers to hot dog buns — 100,000 products in all, up to a total of 10 pounds — to be delivered by drone for $3.99.

The intrigue: Walmart will join other companies already making drone deliveries in North Texas.

• Granbury residents can order food deliveries through Flytrex, an Israeli startup.
• Little Elm and some Frisco residents can shop Walgreens through Google-owned Wing.
