Texas has been a fairly solid RED state that Trump won in 2016, 2020 and 2024. However, the Senate race is currently considered PURPLE and one that Democrats could win. House seats are overwhelmingly RED, except in a few places where they have historically been solidly BLUE.
However, because of re-districting, a number of these seats are now PURPLE, with an unknown likelihood of remaining Democratic. Key PURPLE Districts in Texas include TX-15, TX-28 and TX-34 on the southern border, TX-16 in El Paso, TX-32 and TX-33 around Dallas, and TX-7 and TX-29 around Houston.

Senate Race
