Municipal elections

The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the 38 U.S. representatives from Texas, one from each of the state's 38 congressional districts. The state gained two seats after the results of the 2020 census. The elections coincided with other elections to the House of Representatives, other elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. Primary elections took place on March 1, with primary runoffs scheduled for May 24 for districts where no candidate received over 50% of the vote.

Republicans had gained one seat in the House due to a special election in the 34th district seeing Mayra Flores succeed Filemon Vela and become the first Mexican-born congresswoman. During the 2022 elections, the Democrats and Republicans each gained one of the two seats Texas gained through reapportionment. While Republicans flipped the 15th district, Democrats flipped back the 34th district, and retained the 28th district, dashing Republican hopes of a red wave in the Rio Grande Valley. This resulted in a net gain of one seat for both parties.

Redistricting

The Texas Legislature drew new maps for Texas' congressional districts to account for the two new congressional districts it gained through the 2020 census. The Republican Party had a trifecta in the Texas Government at the time, giving them full control of the redistricting process. Legislators drew the maps for the state during a special session in Fall 2021. The maps that passed were widely criticized as racial and partisan gerrymanders designed to keep Republicans in power and reduce the voting power of minorities. News sources specifically noted that both of Texas' new congressional districts were majority white, despite voters of color making up 95% of the state's growth in the previous decade.

Unlike before the 2012 elections, Texas' maps did not have to pass preclearance under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, as the Supreme Court had ruled preclearance unconstitutional through Shelby County v. Holder in 2013. Despite this, the Justice Department sued the state of Texas after the map's passage, arguing that they violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

District 15

The 15th district stretches from western Hidalgo County in the Rio Grande Valley, northward into rural counties in the Greater San Antonio area. The incumbent was Democrat Vicente Gonzalez, who was reelected with 50.5% of the vote in 2020. On October 26, 2021, Gonzalez announced that he would run for election in the neighboring 34th district, while still serving District 15 until 2023. The district was also significant as, despite its historical Democratic lean, Donald Trump came within two points of winning it in 2020, and the newly drawn 15th is even more Republican than its predecessor.

This district was included on the list of Democratic-held seats that the National Republican Congressional Committee was targeting in 2022.

The 26th district is based in the northern portion of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, centering on eastern Denton County. Before redistricting, the district comprised almost all of Denton County and part of Tarrant.

The incumbent was Republican Michael C. Burgess, who was reelected with 60.6% of the vote in 2020.
