Texas Republicans

Trump has prompted a redistricting race as he tries to maintain Republican control of the House in the 2026 elections. Democrats have fewer options to counter, as the battle heads into next year.

The state's top Republicans swiftly praised the Supreme Court's decision to allow Texas to use its controversial congressional map for the 2026 midterms. The map was designed to give Republicans as many as five new seats in the U.S. House.

With Texas’ new map blocked by a federal court, California Democrats are emerging victorious — though the Supreme Court has yet to weigh in.

A federal court in El Paso had earlier Tuesday placed a temporary block on the map that Republican lawmakers passed this summer and ordered the state to use the district maps from the last two elections.

Critics accuse Cornyn of capitulating to Democrats' gun control demands — even though the bill largely did not restrict gun owner's existing rights.

Saturday’s decisions signal a deescalating intraparty tension that heightened at the start of the year.

The Texas GOP will vote Saturday to possibly bar some state legislators from running in the 2026 primary, despite repeated Texas Supreme Court rulings saying they cannot.

The case is attracting attention from across the nation, even among supporters of capital punishment, who are calling for a halt to Roberson's execution.

A three-judge panel in El Paso will continue hearing arguments in a lawsuit challenging the controversial new map of Texas' congressional districts. Ultimately, their decision will determine whether Texas can use the new map for the 2026 midterm elections.

The latest calls to stave off the politically charged execution come after a summer where GOP leaders asked the state courts to kick Democrats out of office and throw Beto O’Rourke in jail.

The Dallas County Republican Party has voted to hand-count ballots in the March primary. That's one of the new election administrator's priorities.

The Austin lawmaker, first elected in 2004, chaired the influential House Foreign Affairs and Homeland Security committees. He is the second Texas Republican this week to bow out of Congress.
