Texas is on the DLCC’s 2026 Target Map.
Republicans currently control the Texas legislature but that hasn’t stopped state Democrats from fighting on behalf of their communities. As the campaign arm for more than 3,000 state legislators and thousands of candidates across all 50 states, the DLCC is providing the roadmap for building Democratic power across red, blue, and purple states in 2026 and beyond, including in Texas.
2026 is a historic opportunity to build power in red states all across the country, including gaining significant ground in Texas. Gaining seats in the House in this year’s favorable environment could help put this chamber in play in future cycles as more voters turn away from the failing GOP agenda.

Redistricting Update
The DLCC Is Taking Action In Response to Texas Redistricting
In the wake of the Callais decision, Texas Republicans are calling on Gov. Abbott to call another session to seize even more power and push statehouse Democrats into the superminority so they cannot stage a walkout as they did in 2025 to delay the initial round of mid-decade gerrymandering.Gaining seats and building new Democratic majorities in our statehouses is imperative for putting Democrats in a stronger position now and at the end of the decade.
