2026 matches exactly. 2022 D and other match exactly. 2022 R is short by 668,842. The state's county file leaves out four districts that had no Democratic candidate: TX-6, TX-11, TX-25, TX-31. The FEC certified totals include them. The 44 counties where this matters have r22_incomplete = 1 (their 2022 House total is under 85% of their 2022 governor total). For those counties the 2022 R figure, and so the R change, isn't usable. D figures are complete everywhere.

OpenElections' 2022 Texas precinct file was checked as a backup. It covers only 98 counties, so it wasn't used.

Uncontested districts

2022 (FEC): 8 districts with no Democrat and 2 with no Republican. In Texas, a seat with no Democrat in 2022 that had one in 2026 adds Democratic votes just by having a candidate on the ballot.
