The 1974 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas occurred on November 5, 1974, to elect the members of the state of Texas's delegation to the United States House of Representatives. Texas had twenty-four seats in the House apportioned according to the 1970 United States census.[1]
Texas underwent mid-decade redistricting as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court case White v. Weiser. A District Court had ruled the legislature's districts unconstitutional due to their average population deviation of 0.745%, which violated the one man, one vote principle established by Wesberry v. Sanders. The District Court had also ruled against the Texas Legislature's incumbency protection justification for the district's deviation, but this ruling was not held upon appeal to the Supreme Court.[2][3] The Supreme Court placed the lower court in charge of redrawing the map, which it did in time for the 1974 elections.[4]
These elections occurred simultaneously with the United States Senate elections of 1974, the United States House elections in other states, and various state and local elections.
Democrats maintained their majority of U.S. House seats from Texas, gaining one seat from the Republicans, increasing their majority to twenty-one out of twenty-four seats.[5]
