The 2014 Texas House of Representatives elections took place as part of the biennial United States elections. Texas voters elected state representatives in all 150 State House of Representatives districts. The winners of this election served in the 84th Texas Legislature. State representatives serve for two-year terms.
At the beginning of the Eighty-third Texas Legislature following the 2012 Texas State House of Representatives elections, the Democrats held 55 seats to the Republicans' 95.
This election marked the first time Republicans ever won a state house race in Chambers County.

Predictions

Owing to a Republican-leaning national environment and the state's recent trend towards the Republican Party, analysts predicted that the party would easily maintain its large margin of control over the Texas House.
