The filing period to get on the March 1 primary ballots ended on Monday, which means we can now present you with a finalized list of candidates running for seats in the Texas House and Senate.

The final day of filing saw a few big surprises. As some had suspected, San Antonio state Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer chose to try again for the Senate seat that he lost last year in a special election runoff. His decision not to hold on to his House seat set off a scramble among candidates hoping to succeed him.

Also waiting until the last day to make a decision was Abilene Republican Susan King who decided that she would enter the SD-24 GOP contest after all.

The almost entirely unexpected development was the decision by Adrian Garcia, who had resigned as Harris County sheriff in a bid for Houston mayor, to challenge Gene Green in the Democratic primary for his Houston congressional seat.

Here's the candidate filings for the Texas House:
