Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Texas in 2024. Information below was calculated on Feb. 28, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Fifty-eight Texas state legislative incumbents faced primary challenges, representing 40% of all those running for re-election. This was the highest number and percentage of contested incumbents since 2014.
Of the 58 incumbents in contested primaries, 13 were Democrats and 45 were Republicans.
Texas had 93 contested state legislative primaries in 2024, a 3% decrease from 2022.
Of the 93 contested primaries, there were 33 for Democrats and 60 for Republicans. For Democrats, this was the same as in 2022. For Republicans, the number was down 5% from 63 in 2022.
Overall, 411 major party candidates — 199 Democrats and 212 Republicans — filed to run. All 150 House and 15 of 31 Senate seats were up for election.
Nineteen of those seats were open, meaning no incumbents filed. This guaranteed that at least 12% of seats up for election would be represented by newcomers in 2025.
Open seats

Legislative referrals
- See also: Legislative referral
A legislative referral, or legislatively referred ballot measure, is a ballot measure that appears on the ballot due to a vote of the state legislature. A legislative referral can be a constitutional amendment, state statute, or bond issue.
As of the 2024 elections, proposed amendments needed to be approved in a joint resolution of both the Texas State Senate and the Texas House of Representatives. The joint resolution could have originated in either the House or the Senate. The resolution needed to be adopted by a vote of at least two-thirds of the membership of each house of the legislature. That amounted to a minimum of 100 votes in the House of Representatives and 21 votes in the Senate.
At the time of the 2024 election, Republicans held a 19-12 majority in the Senate and a 86-64 majority in the House. Democrats needed to win nine Senate seats and 36 House seats to be able to pass legislative referrals without Republican votes. Republicans needed to win two Senate seats and 14 House seats to have the same ability.
Process to become a candidate
See statutes: Title 9 of the Texas Election Code
A candidate in Texas may run with an officially recognized political party, as an independent, or as a write-in.
For major party candidates
In order to run with a major political party, a candidate must file an application with the county or state party chair and pay a filing fee. A candidate also has the option of filing a petition in lieu of the filing fee. Application and petition forms are available through local party officials or the Texas Secretary of State. The regular filing period for the primary election begins on the 30th day before the date of the regular filing deadline, which is 6 p.m. on the second Monday in December of an odd-numbered year.[3]
A chart detailing the signature and filing requirements for each particular office can be accessed here.[4]

State-qualified minor parties nominate candidates by convention. To be considered for nomination by a convention, a minor party candidate must file an application for nomination no later than 6 p.m. on the second Monday in December of an odd-numbered year, preceding the minor party’s convention. A candidate seeking nomination for a state or district office must file with the state party chair. Candidates for county or precinct offices must file applications with county party chairs. Effective September 1, 2021, a candidate nominated via convention must either pay a filing fee (equal to the filing fee paid by major party candidates in primary elections) or submit a petition a petition in lieu of paying the filing fee.[5][6]
For independent candidates
A candidate may have his or her name placed on the general election ballot as an independent candidate if he or she is not affiliated with a political party.[7][8][9][10][11]
To run as an independent, a candidate must file a declaration of intent with the county judge (county or precinct offices) or the Texas Secretary of State (district and state offices) during the same filing period as major and minor party candidates.[8][12]
This paperwork must include signatures of voters who have not participated in the primary election or the runoff primary election of a party that has nominated, at either election, a candidate for the office the petitioning candidate seeks.[8][13]
A chart detailing the signature and filing requirements for each particular office can be accessed here.[8]
For write-in candidates
In order to become a write-in candidate in the general election, the candidate must file a declaration of candidacy with the Texas Secretary of State or the county judge, as appropriate, no later than 5 p.m. of the 78th day before general election day.[14][15]
The declaration must be accompanied by either a filing fee or a nominating petition signed by a certain number of qualified voters. A chart detailing the signature and filing requirements for each particular office can be accessed here.[14][16]

Redistricting following the 2020 census
Texas enacted new legislative district boundaries in June 2023 for use in 2024 and until the 2030 census. These districts were the same as those enacted by the state in October 2021. Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signed HB 1000—establishing state House district boundaries—on June 12, 2023, and he allowed SB 375—establishing state Senate district boundaries—to become law without his signature on June 18, 2023.[21][22] The Texas Tribune's James Barragan wrote in January 2023 that Senate Legislative Redistricting Committee Chairperson Joan Huffman (R) said the state was re-doing the redistricting process "to ensure that Legislature had met its constitutional requirement to apportion districts in the first regular session after the publishing of the results of the federal census, which is done every 10 years. Because of the pandemic, census numbers were not released until after the end of the last regularly scheduled legislative session on May 31, 2021. Redistricted maps were passed in a subsequent special session that year."[23] Texas had originally enacted new state legislative districts on October 25, 2021.

Footnotes
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
