2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas
Open-knowledge reference entry
The 2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the thirty-eight U.S. representatives from the state of Texas, one from each of the state's thirty-eight congressional districts. The elections will coincide with other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. The primary elections took place on March 3, 2026, and in races where no candidate receives over 50% in a primary, runoff elections took place on May 26.
Redistricting
On July 9, 2025, the Texas state government announced that during a planned special session on July 21 of this year, it would tackle mid-decade redistricting. This had been pushed privately by the White House to help Republicans and Democrats keep control of the House in 2026, and critics have labeled it a gerrymander.
On August 20, 2025, the Texas House passed congressional maps that would target five Democratic-held seats. The vote was 88–52, a party-line vote. The new map changes the territory of Democratic representatives Marc Veasey, Vicente Gonzalez, Lloyd Doggett, Julie Johnson, and Al Green. On August 23, 2025, the Texas Senate passed the map with a vote 18–8. Governor Greg Abbott has signed the map into law, and therefore will be the active map used in the 2026 House elections in Texas.
