It appears the Democrats have won a majority in the Texas House of Reps, which will aid the new governor. Not clear whether they will win the state Senate as well: only half the seats are up for election (they hold biennial half-senate elections for four year terms).

What’s kinda ironic is that its the “low tax” business environment that was set up by the state GOP in Texas has been fundamental to the change in demographics of the state (that being younger, more economically mobile, more highly educated and more ethnically varied) that has result in this political shift
