ACROSS TEXAS

All 38 of Texas’ U.S. House seats are on the ballot Nov. 3, and this year they are being contested under a new congressional map that the Texas Senate passed in August 2025, and Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law.

A federal court blocked the map in November 2025, but the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Dec. 4 that Texas could use it in the 2026 midterms. Republicans currently hold 25 of the state’s 38 seats, and the new map raises the number they could win to 30.
