The 1994 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 74th Texas Legislature. State representatives serve for two-year terms. Republicans gained a net of two seats from the Democrats, reducing the Democratic majority to 89 out of 150 seats.
Background
Democrats had held control of the Texas House of Representatives since Reconstruction. In late 1993, Democrat Ric Williamson of the 61st district announced he would switch from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party.McNeely Dave December 21, 1993 Williamson party switch no surprise A15 Austin American Statesman https://www.proquest.com/docview/256344384 June 17, 2023 256344384
Redistricting
Democrats had fully controlled the redistricting process in 1991, and Republicans sued over the Texas House's map. The courts partially overhauled the map as a result of these lawsuits.History https://redistricting.capitol.texas.gov/history 2023-03-16 redistricting.capitol.texas.gov Democrats codified the court's map into law in a January 1992 special session.Bickerstaff Steve Gerrymandering Texas Texas Tech University Press 2020 978-1-68283-073-4 Heath C.

Results
Despite Republicans making major gains nationwide as a part of the Republican Revolution, including Republican George W. Bush's victory against incumbent Democrat Ann Richards in the concurrent gubernatorial election, the party only flipped a net of two seats from the Democrats in the Texas House of Representatives.Verhovek Sam Howe 1994-11-09 THE 1994 ELECTIONS: THE NATION THE BUSHES; Texas Elects George W.
