Texas Redistricting: 2026 Results on the 2025 Map
Texas elected its U.S. House delegation on the redrawn congressional map for the first time on Nov. 3. The Associated Press called 14 seats for Democrats and 24 for Republicans, compared with 13 and 25 on the old lines in 2024.
Results are unofficial until the state canvass, which the Secretary of State sets for a date between Nov. 21 and Dec. 7.

All 38 Districts, 2024 Presidential Vote and 2026 Result
Sorted from the largest Harris margin to the largest Trump margin on the new lines. A presidential margin and a House margin come from different races with different candidates, so the gap between the two columns is not a measure of the map.

Same 2024 Votes, Two Sets of Lines
Each district’s 2024 presidential margin, counted on the old lines and again on the new ones, on one color scale.
2024 presidential vote, not the 2026 House result
Counted on the new lines, the same 2024 votes give Harris 8 districts instead of 11, and the closest district, TX-34, goes from Trump +4.4 to Trump +10.1.
Each square is one district. Every district has about the same number of people.

Six Districts Covered Before the Election
TexPolls covered these six districts before the election, using Inside Elections' August 2025 assessment of the new lines. Each card now leads with the 2026 result, as called by the Associated Press.
District 35
2026: Johnny Garcia (D) won, 55.4% to 44.6% for Carlos De La Cruz (R). Trump carried it in 2024 on these lines.
Inside Elections, August 2025:Solid DLikely R
2024 presidential margin: Harris +33 on the old lines, Trump +10 on the new lines.
The most heavily redrawn district: fewer than 10% of prior constituents remain. Austin-San Antonio corridor split apart: Travis and Hays counties are out, and the district now covers parts of San Antonio and eastern areas in Bexar, Guadalupe, Wilson and Karnes counties. Latinos are 57% of its residents and about 52% of its eligible voters. Plaintiffs in LULAC v. Abbott allege the new boundaries are a racial gerrymander that intentionally dilutes minority voting strength. Casar chose to run in new TX-37 instead.

District 28
2026: Henry Cuellar (D) won, 65.8% to 29.6% for Tano Tijerina (R). Trump carried it in 2024 on these lines.
Inside Elections, August 2025:Lean DTilt D
2024 presidential margin: Trump +7 on the old lines, Trump +10 on the new lines.
The South Texas district gained new territory in heavily Hispanic Hidalgo County while losing its San Antonio-area parts. The Texas Tribune reported the redrawn district would have gone for Trump by 10 points.

District 34
2026: Vicente Gonzalez (D) won, 55.6% to 39.8% for Eric Flores (R). Trump carried it in 2024 on these lines.
Inside Elections, August 2025:Tilt DToss-Up
2024 presidential margin: Trump +4.4 on the old lines, Trump +10.1 on the new lines.
The new lines remove heavily Hispanic Hidalgo County and add Nueces County and the Corpus Christi area. They make the district more Republican than the version Vicente Gonzalez won in 2024: Trump +10.1 instead of Trump +4.4.

2024 presidential margin: Harris +40 on the old lines, Harris +55 on the new lines.
Restructured to take in parts of the former TX-9, increasing Black population share from 34% to just under 45%. Critics, including the plaintiffs suing over the map, call this 'packing': concentrating Black voters into fewer districts to reduce overall representation.
District 9
2026: Leticia Gutierrez (D) won, 57.5% to 42.5% for Alex Mealer (R). Trump carried it in 2024 on these lines.
Inside Elections, August 2025:Solid DSolid R
2024 presidential margin: Harris +44 on the old lines, Trump +20 on the new lines.
Approximately 97% of prior constituents moved out. The new lines add Liberty County, which Trump carried about 4 to 1 in 2024. The district's combined Black and Hispanic share falls from 78% to 72%. The redrawn district is close to half Hispanic by citizen voting-age population, and analysts cited by Houston Public Media noted that raw population share overstates Hispanic electoral strength in Texas because turnout has historically run lower than among white voters.
District 15
2026: Bobby Pulido (D) won, 62.3% to 37.7% for Monica De La Cruz (R). Trump carried it in 2024 on these lines.
Inside Elections, August 2025:Likely RLikely R
2024 presidential margin: Trump +18 on the old lines, Trump +18 on the new lines.
Inside Elections described little change to the district’s partisan makeup under the new map and retained its Likely Republican rating in August 2025. That historical assessment is separate from the current 2026 race rating.

Common Questions
- How many Texas U.S. House seats did each party win on the new map?
- The Associated Press called 14 of Texas' 38 seats for Democrats and 24 for Republicans. In 2024, on the old lines, Democrats won 13 and Republicans 25. The two elections had different lines, candidates, and turnout, so the change in seats is a count, not a measure of the map by itself.
- How many Texas districts did Harris carry on the new lines versus the old?
- Harris carried 11 of 38 districts on the old lines in 2024. Counted on the new lines, the same 2024 votes give her 8 and Trump 30, according to the Texas Legislative Council's Red-206 reports.
- Did either party win a district the other party's presidential candidate carried?
- Counted on the new lines, Trump carried 30 of the 38 districts in 2024 and Harris carried 8. Democrats won six of the 30 Trump carried (TX-9, TX-15, TX-23, TX-28, TX-34, and TX-35), and Republicans won none of the 8 Harris carried.
- Are these results final?
- No. They are Associated Press race calls and vote shares, as noted under the headline.
- Is the map still being challenged in court?
- The map was used in the 2026 elections. A three-judge federal panel blocked it on Nov. 18, 2025, finding likely racial gerrymandering. The Supreme Court stayed that order on Dec. 4, 2025, and reversed it on April 27, 2026. The Voting Rights Act claims remain pending in the trial court as of the last public case-tracker update (April 2026).
