The 2026 Texas House of Representatives election will be held on November 3, 2026, alongside elections for the state senate. The winners of this election will serve in the 90th legislative session. All 150 seats in the Texas House of Representatives are up for election.

Primary elections were held on March 3, 2026, with runoff primaries scheduled for May 26, 2026 in districts where no primary candidate secured a majority of the vote.[1]

Background

Republicans have controlled the House of Representatives since the 2002 election. The 2024 election marked a considerable shift towards the right among the membership of the House of Representatives. Fifteen Republicans lost their primary elections, with the majority of their challengers backed by governor Greg Abbott over the issue of school vouchers. Republicans flipped two seats in the heavily-Hispanic Rio Grande Valley in the general election, increasing their majority to 88 out of 150 seats, with the Democrats holding the other 62.[2]

2025 regular session

During the regular session, the legislature passed a number of bills to advance a conservative agenda. The session began, however, with the election of Dustin Burrows as Speaker of the House with the support of most Democrats and some Republicans, over more insurgent Republican David Cook.[3]

Long a priority of the most conservative Republicans in the legislature, especially in the Senate, that had historically faced major hurdles in the more moderate House, the passage of school voucher legislation marked the most significant sign of the conservative shift of the chamber in recent years. In 2021, only 29 Republicans had voted in favor of vouchers. Greg Abbott began pushing the issue more strongly in 2022, gaining support from many incumbent Republicans and funding the primary challengers of those who still opposed it.[4] By the time the measure came up for a vote in the 2025 regular session, only two Republicans, Gary VanDeaver and former Speaker Dade Phelan, voted against it, alongside all present Democrats.[5] The bill allocates $1 billion of public funds for children to attend private schools or for their parents to homeschool them, prioritized based on income and disability.[6] President Donald Trump, lent his support to the effort and endorsed all Republican legislators who voted in favor of the bill should they seek reelection.[7][8]

Other conservative hallmarks related to education included requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms, banning diversity, equity, and inclusion policies from public schools, and restricting free speech on college campuses in the wake of Gaza war protests at universities. Other new laws included the tightening of bail, restricting the rights of transgender people, easing access to vaccine exemption, and cutting property taxes.[9] On a more bipartisan basis, the legislature passed bills to alleviate water supply issues, clarify medical exceptions in the state's abortion ban, and ease the construction of housing in amidst the state's growing housing crisis.[10][11][12]

Tort reform legislation backed by the influential Texans for Lawsuit Reform (TLR), failed due to opposition from the hardline wing of the Republican caucus.[13]

Special sessions and redistricting

Greg Abbott had already planned to call a special session to address legislation that did not pass in time during the regular session or that Abbott vetoed, such as a ban on THC products, as well as to address new issues such as deadly flooding in central Texas. At the request of President Donald Trump, Abbott added congressional redistricting to the agenda with the goal of flipping five Democratic-held U.S. House seats to the Republicans in the 2026 elections.[14] In response, most House Democrats left the state on August 3 in order to prevent the establishment of a quorum in the chamber, blocking all legislative activity.[15] The walkout lasted for the entire remaining duration of the first special session, after which Abbott immediately called a second one. Democrats returned to the chamber for the second session.[16] The legislature passed new congressional maps shortly afterwards, and they later passed additional legislation to punish lawmakers who break quorum in the future.[17][18]

District partisanship

In the 2024 presidential election, Republican Donald Trump won 96 districts, while Democrat Kamala Harris won 54 districts. Democrats now hold 8 districts in which Trump won, while Republicans hold no districts won by Harris. Republicans made massive gains across the historically-Democratic Rio Grande Valley region in 2024.[19] Most of the Democratic-held districts won by Trump come from this region. Republicans have fielded candidates in 6 of these districts.

Campaign

Ahead of the March primary election, Democrats announced that they had recruited candidates to run in every state and federal race on the ballot, including all 150 House of Representatives districts, a first for either political party in the state's modern history. Governor Greg Abbott pushed to recruit candidates to run in every district in Harris County as well, as part of an attempt to flip the county in his concurrent gubernatorial campaign.[45] With bolstered recruiting in several Trump-won districts in the heavily-Hispanic Rio Grande Valley as well, Republicans are contesting 133 of the state's 150 districts, the most in their party's modern history as well.

Statewide primary election

In contrast to the 2024 primary, which saw millions of dollars poured into dozens of Republican primary races to oust opponents of school vouchers, the 2026 primary has seen a much smaller field dominated by different political forces. Unlike the right-wing donors who fueled the school voucher push, such as Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks, more primary challengers this cycle have the backing of Texans for Lawsuit Reform, a group which was instrumental in the Republican takeover of the state government in the 1990s and 2000s. Seen as a more establishment conservative organization, TLR's influence in the legislature has waned in recent years as the party has become more dominated by hardline conservatives. They are targeting lawmakers who led the defeat of prominent tort reform bills in the previous legislative session.[46]

Very few incumbent legislators lost renomination compared to 2024, despite the substantial financial backing many challengers received. Two Republican challengers backed by billionaire Tim Dunn won, but no challengers backed by TLR or pro-casino groups defeated any incumbents. Former Democratic leader Chris Turner lost renomination in a major upset, while two other Democratic incumbents were forced into runoffs.[47]

General election

For the first time in several election cycles, the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee is putting significant funding into Texas House races in anticipation of a possible nationwide wave election. They have targeted five Republican-held seats, focused in the Rio Grande Valley and the state's suburban areas, which Democrats have either lost or narrowed Republican margins in recent years.[48]

Incumbent Republican Terri Leo-Wilson is running for re-election. Her challenger in the Republican primary, Nathan Watkins, raised more than double Leo-Wilson's campaign funding, primarily from high-dollar donations from industries such as construction.[74] Leo-Wilson accused Watkins of having a conflict of interest regarding his company's relationship with Barbers Hill ISD and plans to construct a luxury apartment complex. Watkins filed a defamation lawsuit against Leo-Wilson for her comments, which she filed a SLAPP motion to dismiss.[75][76] Leo-Wilson won the primary and will face Democrat Cheryl Lynn Clark in the general election.

Incumbent Republican Keresa Richardson is running for re-election.

In the Democratic Primary, candidate Brittany Black had previously filed to run for Texas's 3rd congressional district as a Republican before switching to this race as a Democrat, calling the former filing a "mistake." Black defeated Jackie Bescherer, who was seen as the more moderate of the two. Richardson won nearly 60% of the vote in 2024, but Democrats see the district as possibly competitive due to backlash against the closures of several local schools, which they blame on Republicans, and the continued population growth of northern Collin County.[89] Anissa Chilmeran is running for the seat under the Green Party.[91]

Incumbent Republican Giovanni Capriglione, who had led a Texas House committee based on the Department of Government Efficiency, initially planned to run for re-election but announced his retirement on July 23, 2025. Armin Mizani, the mayor of Keller who had run for this seat in 2018, switched to this race from a special election for Senate District 9, which he had previously been running for.[32] Zee Wilcox, another Republican candidate had been removed from the ballot over issues with her filing paperwork, but she successfully sued to remain on the ballot.[102][103] Tort reform has become a major issue in the race, with Texans for Lawsuit Reform backing Fred Tate, with more conservative legal groups backing Mizani.[46] Mizani won the primary and will face democrat Cate Brennan in the general election.

Another Democratic candidate from that race, Desi Martinez, who had also switched parties, remained in the race.[109] Martinez was backed by local Republicans, including Lujan, but she lost the nomination to Jorge Borrego, who played a role in developing the private school voucher legislation that passed through the legislature.[110][111] District 118, based in southern Bexar County, is one of five Republican-held seats Democrats are most heavily targeting in the general election due to its narrow Republican lean.[48] Borrego will face Democrat Kristain Carranza in the general election.

District 121, based in the northern suburbs of San Antonio, is one of five Republican-held seats Democrats are most heavily targeting in the general election due to its narrow Republican lean.[48] LaHood will face Democrat Zach Dunn in the general election.
