See November 2026 Midterm Election Results as Votes Come in Across Texas.
Roughly half of the state’s 31 senators are on the ballot, with results updated for 16 districts and key North Texas races.
- Texas voters head to the polls today, November 3, 2026, to decide 16 state senate seats and the high-profile U.S. Senate race between State Representative James Talarico and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
- Record early voting, including more than 1.08 million ballots cast in Harris County, signals high engagement. Democrats hope to capitalize on an affordability crisis and a weaker-than-ever GOP slate to flip seats.
- Turnout is "everything," as both parties target the 67 percent of Texans identifying as Christian. Democrats are watching Hidalgo and Webb Counties, where early voting totals surged, hoping to offset rural Republican advantages.
- A strong night for Democrats could significantly alter the partisan balance of the Texas Legislature. Voters are also weighing local measures including Dallas's $443 million safety package and Dallas County Proposition A's $103 million property tax increase.
- Political analysts are closely monitoring potential ticket-splitting in this era of polarization. While Cook Political Report lists many districts as "Solid Republican," competitive races will determine whether Texas politics remains deep-red or shifts significantly.
