The results are in for the undercard races in the Texas Primaries. Jeff will be covering both the Democratic and Republican Senate primaries, but you can find all of the other highly interesting races right here! Here is a list of the most important results that you need to know:
In the highly competitive Attorney General race to replace one of the most effective Republican chief litigators in the country, we will see State Senator Mayes Middleton and Rep. Chip Roy advance to a run-off. To national viewers of the race, Chip Roy was considered a clear frontrunner who might’ve won the night outright. Middleton, however, was a highly competitive candidate who wielded his vast personal fortune effectively to secure a large plurality of the vote. He will be considered the favorite when the two meet again in May.

For Comptroller, Trump-endorsed Don Huffines managed to defeat Abbott-endorsed incumbent Kelly Hancock outright. Huffines had previously run for Governor against Abbott in 2022, proving to be the biggest challenge that the titan of Texas politics has faced so far.

Huffines launched a primary bid against Greg Abbott in 2022 arguing he wasn’t conservative enough.

In the Ag Commissioner race, Trump-endorsed incumbent Sid Miller lost to the Abbott-endorsed challenger Nate Sheetz. Miller only had the benefit of receiving Trump's endorsement for a few days before Election Day, as he gave it on Friday during his Corpus Christi rally. Sheetz has benefited from Abbott's campaign apparatus working in full support of his candidacy. Sheetz has also touted his great relationship with the wildly popular former Sen. Rick Santorum.

In TX-02, incumbent Dan Crenshaw will lose his race to challenger Steve Toth. Toth had received the backing of countless conservatives with the bona fides necessary to push him over the edge, including Turning Point Action and Senator Ted Cruz.
I've seen enough: Steve Toth (R) defeats Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R) in the #TX02 GOP primary.

Rep. Al Green looks as if he still has a career in politics (for now), as he will likely face Rep. Christian Menefee in a run-off on the Democratic side of the TX-18 race, with no candidate approaching the 50 percent threshold.
In the crowded TX-21, we will see Mark Teixeira as the Republican nominee. Teixeira, backed by his Major League name ID and Trump endorsement, was expected to take a significant share of the vote, but many thought the contest would go to a runoff due to the sheer number of candidates.

TX-23 certainly put on a show as Rep Tony Gonzales has managed to stave off a loss in the first round of voting. He will now face firearms YouTuber Brandon Herrera in a rematch of their 2024 run-off. In 2024, Gonzales barely managed to hang on to his seat after winning in a run-off by less than 400 votes.
I've seen enough: Rep. Tony Gonzales (R) and Brandon Herrera (R) advance to a GOP runoff in #TX23.

In TX-31, Rep. John Carter looks as if he will avoid a run-off in his crowded primary, as he maintains a heavy lead.
And finally, in TX-35, pro-amnesty John Lujan will face Carlos De La Cruz.
