Elections
2014
Elections for all 150 seats in the Texas House of Representatives took place in 2014. A primary election took place on March 4, 2014. Those candidates who did not receive 50 percent or more of the vote in their party primary on March 4 faced an additional May 27 primary runoff. The general election was held on November 4, 2014. The signature filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in these elections was December 9, 2013. Incumbent Charles Perry defeated Steve Massengale in the Republican primary[3][4][5] and was to be unchallenged in the general election. However, Perry dropped out of the race to participate in a September 9, 2014, special election for the Texas State Senate.[2] In Perry's place, two new candidates were chosen by their respective primaries to participate in the general election: Max R. Tarbox (D) and Dustin Burrows (R). Burrows defeated Tarbox in the general election.[2][1][6]
