In practice, it means establishing non-partisan redistricting commissions, taking that power away from the legislature or the political parties: https://www.no

  This is a good response. I think California already does things like this, by having a non-partisan redistricting process. Texas, on the other hand, could barely more embrace parternship.

    I doubt California does this well. My experience in California is that if you look at voting trends you'd think areas like SF are deeply blue, probably borderline far left. If you come out here though, it's really not that way. Then again, a comparison like the one you gave is bound to fail even the smallest smell test. The outcome is similar in that votes don't really reflect what the population wants, but for different reasons.

  Its not clear to me that a nonpartisan redistricting would automatically make districts more competitive, nor that the increased competitiveness would be the reason nonpartisan districts are better. That was OP's point.
