The conversations tonight among Republicans and Democrats that the Texas House is likely to flip are remarkable. Here is how uncertain any predictions appeared heading into Election Day. In March, Gina Hinojosa said “If we flipped 12 in 2018 and we’re gearing up for a bigger wave in 2026, you better believe we can flip this House.” But as recently as September, she sounded less sure. At the Texas Tribune festival she said, “We’re not going to have a Democratic-dominated Legislature. That’s just reality. I live in reality.” To be fair, a Dem-dominated Lege would require the Senate to flip, too.
