The 2014 Texas House of Representatives elections took place as part of the biennial United States elections. Texas voters elected state representatives in all 150 State House of Representatives districts. The winners of this election served in the 84th Texas Legislature. State representatives serve for two-year terms.
This election marked the first time Republicans ever won a state house race in Chambers County.[1]
Predictions
Owing to a Republican-leaning national environment and the state's recent trend towards the Republican Party, analysts predicted that the party would easily maintain its large margin of control over the Texas House.
This election marked a low point in seat competitiveness for the Texas House of Representatives. 69% of seats only drew candidates from only one major political party, and 45% of seats hosted unopposed races. Only 8% of seats featured more than two political parties, and only 4 races were decided by margins under 10%.
