“Texas has 38 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.”
Official federal and Texas state sources clearly show that Texas has 38 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. The 2020 Census apportionment gave Texas 38 seats, and current House, Congress.gov, and Texas election listings all align with that number. A minor secondary-source error about the size of Texas’s gain does not change the confirmed total.
“As of April 2026, the Texas delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives consisted of 24 Republicans, 13 Democrats, and one vacancy in Texas's 23rd congressional district.”
Official House records and contemporaneous reporting support the stated composition. After Tony Gonzales resigned effective April 14, 2026, Texas’s U.S. House delegation stood at 24 Republicans, 13 Democrats, and one vacancy in the 23rd district. Conflicting secondary tables appear to reflect stale or differently timed updates rather than a substantive contradiction.
“Texas's 23rd congressional district runs along much of Texas's border with Mexico from the San Antonio area toward El Paso.”
Official Texas and federal district maps support this description. Texas’s 23rd Congressional District includes areas near San Antonio and then follows a long stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border westward to part of El Paso County. The claim accurately summarizes the district’s geography.
