An archived statewide map of Texas' state House districts from the Texas Legislative Council can be found here, and individual district maps can be obtained from the U.S. Census here.

Following the 2016 state house elections, Republicans maintained effective control of the House with 95 members. Democrats held 55 seats following the 2016 elections.
In the 2018 election, Democrats flipped 12 seats in the Texas House, leaving Republicans with an 83âÂÂ67 advantage in the House.
This election marks the first time since 2008 that Democrats had won a state house race in Williamson, Hays, or Blanco counties, as well as the first time since 1982 that Democrats had won a state house race in Denton County.
Predictions
Despite a competitive race for U.S. Senate in the state, analysts did not consider control of the Texas House to be in play. Despite this, they acknowledged that Democrats were likely to make gains in the chamber, predicting that they would gain a single-digit number of seats.
