There were 29 Republican primaries for Texas House of Representatives on March 3, 2020. Of those 29 primaries, 11 involved an incumbent representative. This year's primaries came after the active 2018 primary season when 26 Republican incumbents faced a primary challenger and three lost in the primary election.

No incumbents lost their primary challenges. This year was the first time in four cycles that no incumbent lost in the primary stage. Two incumbents faced runoff elections: Dan Flynn (District 2) and J.D. Sheffield (District 59). Both lost in their respective primaries.

Like the 2018 primaries, the 2020 contests took place in the wake of a House Speaker's retirement. In 2018, Speaker Joe Straus retired and said he had accomplished all of his legislative goals. In 2020, Speaker Dennis Bonnen left office because of a recording of him offering the group Empower Texans benefits in exchange for targeting 10 incumbent Republicans for defeat in 2020.

Bonnen donated to seven incumbents facing primary challengers. Each candidate received $15,000 from Bonnen's PAC, Texas Leads, which he founded in summer 2019 before his retirement announcement. A spokesperson for Bonnen said the donations were given to members who helped get Bonnen's legislative priorities passed in the 2019 session.[1]

Empower Texans, a group known for running conservative challenges to moderate incumbents, endorsed two candidates running for open seats. In September 2019, The Texas Tribune reported the group was frustrated with Bonnen, claiming he did not do enough to address their legislative concerns.[2]

The Texas Freedom Caucus, a group of 10 House Republicans known to oppose Straus and support Bonnen, sought to retain two seats in primary contests this year.[3] Member Mike Lang (District 60) announced his retirement, and four candidates ran for the GOP nomination. District 128 incumbent and caucus member Briscoe Cain defeated moderate Robert Hoskins in his primary election.[4] In June 2017, the group had 12 members, according to the caucus' website. All eight members who sought re-election in 2020 won another term.

As of February 2020, Texas was one of 21 Republican trifectas. A state government trifecta is a term used to describe a single-party government where one political party holds the governor's office and a majority in both chambers of the state legislature. To find out more about state government trifectas, click here.

In 2018, the conflict in the state House Republican primaries was between a faction supportive of Speaker Straus and those opposed to his leadership, including members of the Texas Freedom Caucus.[5] Straus' retirement, set up a contest to elect the next speaker of the state House in 2019. Both the pro-Straus faction and the anti-Straus faction ran candidates in the speaker's race, meaning the 2018 primaries were pivotal in deciding which faction would have more influence after the elections.

Noteworthy events

Bonnen recording released

On August 16, 2019, The New York Times reported that Dennis Bonnen (R) was recorded offering Empower Texans House media credentials in exchange for working to defeat 10 Republican incumbents from the House. Bonnen initially denied the meeting occurred, but later apologized in a letter to his caucus. The House General Investigating Committee voted to order an investigation by the Texas Rangers into the bribery allegations. On October 11, 2019, Bonnen announced he would not seek re-election as a result of the incident.[6]

[7] The 10 legislators mentioned in the recording were:[8]

Brandon Rottinghaus, a political scientist at the University of Houston, said that the incident was unnecessary. "Speaker Bonnen has dozens of ways to punish, both publicly and privately, members who don’t play ball under the pink dome. Choosing to outsource the job to hit men from Empower Texans makes him look politically weak and untrustworthy in the Republican caucus," he said.[9]

Bonnen donations

On January 31, 2020, The Texas Tribune reported that Bonnen's PAC, Texas Leads, made a $15,000 to seven Republican House incumbents facing primary challenges. Cait Meisenheimer, a spokesperson for Bonnen, said that the donations were related to performance during the most recent legislative session. "Just as these members fought to get session priorities — including school finance reform, property tax relief, school safety and more — over the finish line they are working hard in their primary races to earn reelection,” Meisenheimer said. The incumbents that received donations from Texas Leads were:[1]

Voter information

How the primary works

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Texas utilizes an open primary system. Voters do not have to register with a party in advance in order to participate in that party's primary. The voter must sign a pledge stating the following (the language below is taken directly from state statutes)[10]

“ The following pledge shall be placed on the primary election ballot above the listing of candidates' names: 'I am a (insert appropriate political party) and understand that I am ineligible to vote or participate in another political party's primary election or convention during this voting year.'[11] ”

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

Poll times

In Texas, all polling places are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time. Texas is divided between the Central and Mountain time zones. An individual who is in line at the time polls close must be allowed to vote.[12]


Registration requirements

Check your voter registration status here.

To register to vote in Texas, an applicant must be a United States citizen, a resident of the county in which he or she is registering, and at least 17 years and 10 months old.[13]

The deadline to register to vote is 30 days before the election. Prospective voters can request a postage-paid voter registration form online or complete the form online and return it to the county voter registrar. Applications are also available at a variety of locations including the county voter registrar’s office, the secretary of state’s office, libraries, and high schools. Voter registration certificates are mailed to newly registered voters.[14]

Automatic registration

Texas does not practice automatic voter registration.[15]

Online registration

See also: Online voter registration

Texas does not permit online voter registration.[15]

Same-day registration

Texas does not allow same-day voter registration.[15]

Residency requirements

Prospective voters must reside in the county in which they are registering to vote.[16]

Verification of citizenship

See also: Laws permitting noncitizens to vote in the United States

Texas does not require proof of citizenship for voter registration. An individual applying to register to vote must attest that they are a U.S. citizen under penalty of perjury.

State law requires election officials to conduct a check of registered voters' citizenship status. Section 18.068 of the Texas Election Code says the following:

“

The secretary of state shall quarterly compare the information received under Section 16.001 of this code and Section 62.113, Government Code, to the statewide computerized voter registration list. If the secretary determines that a voter on the registration list is deceased or has been excused or disqualified from jury service because the voter is not a citizen, the secretary shall send notice of the determination to the voter registrar of the counties considered appropriate by the secretary.[11]

”
—Section 18.068, Texas Election Code[17]

In January 2019, the Texas secretary of state’s office announced that it would be providing local election officials with a list of registered voters who obtained driver’s licenses or IDs with documentation such as work visas or green cards. Counties would then be able to require voters on the list to provide proof of citizenship within 30 days.[18] The review was halted by a federal judge in February 2019, and Secretary of State David Whitley rescinded the advisory in April.[19][20] A news release from Whitley’s office stated that “... going forward, the Texas Secretary of State's office will send to county voter registrars only the matching records of individuals who registered to vote before identifying themselves as non-U.S. citizens to DPS when applying for a driver's license or personal identification card. This will ensure that naturalized U.S. citizens who lawfully registered to vote are not impacted by this voter registration list maintenance process.”[21]

All 49 states with voter registration systems require applicants to declare that they are U.S. citizens in order to register to vote in state and federal elections, under penalty of perjury or other punishment.[22] Seven states — Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Wyoming — have laws requiring verification of citizenship at the time of voter registration, whether in effect or not. In three states — California, Maryland, and Vermont — at least one local jurisdiction allows noncitizens to vote in some local elections. Noncitizens registering to vote in those elections must complete a voter registration application provided by the local jurisdiction and are not eligible to register as state or federal voters.

Verifying your registration

The Texas Secretary of State’s office allows residents to check their voter registration status online by visiting this website.


Voter ID requirements

Texas requires voters to present photo identification while voting.[23]

The following list of accepted ID was current as of February 2023. Click here for the Texas Secretary of State's page on accepted ID to ensure you have the most current information.

  • Texas driver’s license issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
  • Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS
  • Texas Personal Identification Card issued by DPS
  • Texas handgun license issued by DPS
  • United States Military Identification Card containing the person’s photograph
  • United States Citizenship Certificate containing the person’s photograph
  • United States passport (book or card)

Identification provided by voters aged 18-69 may be expired for no more than four years before the election date. Voters aged 70 and older can use an expired ID card regardless of how long ago the ID expired.[23]

Voters who are unable to provide one of the ID options listed above can sign a Reasonable Impediment Declaration and provide one of the following supporting documents:[23]

  • Copy or original of a government document that shows the voter’s name and an address, including the voter’s voter registration certificate
  • Copy of or original current utility bill
  • Copy of or original bank statement
  • Copy of or original government check
  • Copy of or original paycheck
  • Copy of or original of (a) a certified domestic (from a U.S. state or territory) birth certificate or (b) a document confirming birth admissible in a court of law which establishes the voter’s identity (which may include a foreign birth document)

The following voters are exempt from showing photo ID:[23]

  • Voters with a disability
    • Voters with a disability "may apply with the county voter registrar for a permanent exemption to presenting an acceptable photo identification or following the Reasonable Impediment Declaration procedure in the county."
  • Voters who have a religious objection to being photographed

Voters who do not have a photo ID can obtain a Texas Election Identification Certificate (EIC) at any Texas driver’s license office during regular business hours. Voters can also obtain an Election Identification Certificate from a mobile station. Locations are listed here.[23]

Early voting

Texas permits early voting. Learn more by visiting this website.

Early voting permits citizens to cast ballots in person at a polling place prior to an election. In states that permit no-excuse early voting, a voter does not have to provide an excuse for being unable to vote on Election Day. States that allow voters to cast no-excuse absentee/mail-in ballots in person are counted as no-excuse early voting states.

Forty-seven states and the District of Columbia permit no-excuse early voting.

Absentee voting

Texas voters are eligible to vote absentee in an election if:

  • They cannot make it to the polls on Election Day because they will be away from the county on Election Day and during early voting;
  • They are sick or disabled;
  • They are 65 years of age or older; or
  • They are confined in jail.[24]

To vote absentee, a request must be received by county election officials no later than close of regular business on the eleventh day before the election. The completed ballot must then be returned by the close of polls on Election Day.[25]


Pivot Counties

See also: Pivot Counties by state

One of 254 Texas counties—0.4 percent—is a Pivot County. Pivot Counties are counties that voted for Barack Obama (D) in 2008 and 2012 and for Donald Trump (R) in 2016. Altogether, the nation had 206 Pivot Counties, with most being concentrated in upper midwestern and northeastern states.

Counties won by Trump in 2016 and Obama in 2012 and 2008

Jefferson County, Texas 0.48% 1.61% 2.25%

In the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump (R) won Texas with 52.2 percent of the vote. Hillary Clinton (D) received 43.2 percent. In presidential elections between 1900 and 2016, Texas cast votes for the winning presidential candidate 66.7 percent of the time. In that same time frame, Texas supported Democratic candidates slightly more often than Republicans, 53.3 to 46.7 percent. The state, however, favored Republicans in every presidential election between 2000 and 2016.

Presidential results by legislative district

The following table details results of the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections by state House districts in Texas. Click [show] to expand the table. The "Obama," "Romney," "Clinton," and "Trump" columns describe the percent of the vote each presidential candidate received in the district. The "2012 Margin" and "2016 Margin" columns describe the margin of victory between the two presidential candidates in those years. The "Party Control" column notes which party held that seat heading into the 2018 general election. Data on the results of the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections broken down by state legislative districts was compiled by Daily Kos.[26][27]

In 2012, Barack Obama (D) won 54 out of 150 state House districts in Texas with an average margin of victory of 37.4 points. In 2016, Hillary Clinton (D) won 65 out of 150 state House districts in Texas with an average margin of victory of 36.4 points. Clinton won 10 districts controlled by Republicans heading into the 2018 elections.
In 2012, Mitt Romney (R) won 96 out of 150 state House districts in Texas with an average margin of victory of 36.2 points. In 2016, Donald Trump (R) won 85 out of 150 state House districts in Texas with an average margin of victory of 34.5 points.

  22. ↑ Under federal law, the national mail voter registration application (a version of which is in use in all states with voter registration systems) requires applicants to indicate that they are U.S. citizens in order to complete an application to vote in state or federal elections, but does not require voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the application "may require only the minimum amount of information necessary to prevent duplicate voter registrations and permit State officials both to determine the eligibility of the applicant to vote and to administer the voting process."
