What changed in the Texas Senate after the 2026 election?

Same districts. Distinct evidence.

Texas has 150 state House districts and 31 state Senate districts. These are Texas Legislature seats, separate from Texas’s U.S. congressional districts and its two U.S. senators. The lieutenant governor is not included in the 31-district Senate totals.

The Texas Legislative Council identifies Plan H2316 and Plan S2168 as the state legislative plans used for the 2026 election. They are the same state House and state Senate plans used in the before edition. The separately changed U.S. congressional map is not substituted for either chamber.

Current names, parties, and vacancies are checked against official Texas House and Senate member sources. Opening-session or historical lists are not treated as proof that a former member is still serving. Texas House member directory ↗ · Texas Senate member directory ↗.

The MultiState 2026 results page explicitly identifies reported winners and unresolved races. This publication attributes those outcome labels to MultiState; they are not labeled AP calls or official certification. The Texas Secretary of State returns supply the separate vote-count context. The retained returns were updated November 4, 2026, at 4:59 p.m. Central. Polling locations reporting 100% does not itself establish certification.

Unresolved election names and successor parties stay unassigned in the after roster and map. Where available, the unofficial leader is identified separately as a leader, with the reported margin and source. Continuing Senate terms are not recast as 2026 election wins. No automatic party is assigned to an expected vacancy.

The publisher’s earlier provisional 181-seat roster and 1,086-task evidence queue guide reconciliation. They remain research inputs, with six pending evidence tasks per seat; they do not certify 90th Legislature membership, committee assignments, legislative roles, or future bill outcomes. The attached provisional roster is not silently promoted to a certified roster.

These district maps describe representation. The 2024 ACS State Demographics authority still supplies only statewide demographic comparisons. No district, ZIP, or ZCTA demographic estimate is inferred from a Texas state record, and no party is credited with causing an ACS economic outcome.
