Texas voters elected state representatives in all 150 State House of Representatives districts. The winners of this election served in the 73rd Texas Legislature, with seats apportioned according to the 1990 United States census. State representatives serve for two-year terms. Democrats maintained their majority of 92 out of 150 seats. As of , this is the last time Democrats won the statewide popular vote for the Texas House. Background Democrats had held control of the Texas House of Representatives since Reconstruction. Republicans had gained one seat due to special elections after the resignation of Democrat Bruce Gibson of District 58. Republican Bernard Erickson won the special election outright to avoid a runoff, becoming the first Republican to ever represent the district.May 14, 1992 Erickson takes oath for Texas House B2 Austin American Statesman https://www.proquest.com/docview/256323047 June 24, 2023 256323047 Redistricting Following the release of the 1990 census results, Democrats fully controlled the redistricting process.

In 1990, the "ideal population for a district" was 113,243 people based on a statewide population of 16,986,510. Counties with at least this number of people must fully contain at least one state house district. Counties with sufficient population for two or more districts must be divided into that number of districts. Should a county have sufficient population for one or more district plus a fraction of another, one district from another county may extend into it to represent the remaining population. District delegations for counties with at least one district changed as follows following the 1990 Census:History https://redistricting.capitol.texas.gov/history#maps-section 2022-01-16 redistricting.capitol.texas.gov County1980 pop.
