Texas's 5th House of Representatives district

District 5 is a district in the Texas House of Representatives. It was created in the 3rd legislature.
The district has been represented by Republican Cole Hefner since January 10, 2017, upon his initial election to the Texas House.
As a result of redistricting after the 2020 Federal census, from the 2022 elections the district encompasses all of Camp, Rains, Titus, Upshur, and Wood Counties, and the northern half of Smith County. Major cities in the district include Emory, Gilmer, Lindale, Mineola, Mount Pleasant, Pittsburg, and Quitman. The district includes the majority of Lake Fork Reservoir and a portion of Lake Tawakoni.
