Texas kicks off the first campaign test of the 2026 midterm elections as primary voters pick Republican and Democratic nominees for the fall matchups.
The Dallas Morning News’ results, provided by The Associated Press and gathered by the newsroom from local election departments, feature key matchups, from U.S. Senate and House to governor and other statewide, legislative and judicial offices. Uncontested races are not listed.
You’ll see real-time vote totals in the chart for these headline races and others that matter to Texas politics and policy. Watch not just who wins, but also the margins, turnout patterns and county-by-county splits that could shape strategy for the November general election.

About the data
Results for most federal and statewide elections are provided by the Associated Press. Thousands of AP correspondents periodically report the results from election centers across the country, and the resulting tabulated data are disseminated to member organizations.
All other results are gathered by Hearst Newspapers from local election departments.
Except for certain state and local races, which are called by newsroom editors, race winners and electoral votes are called by AP state and Washington bureaus.
For races tabulated by AP, the expected vote percentage (EVP) is based on a variety of factors, such as turnout in recent elections and details on early voting.
Read more about how the AP reports results and calls races, including how the "expected vote percentage" is calculated.
We mark candidates as having a lead once AP has tabulated at least 35% of the expected vote. Candidates must also lead by at least two percentage points before we mark them as such.
