In the 2024 House race for TX-26, Brandon Gill (R) won with 62.1% of the vote, defeating Ernest R. Lineberger III (D) who received 35.7%. A third candidate also appeared on the ballot. Brandon Gill's 26.4-point advantage over the runner-up confirmed a comfortable win.

This was an open-seat race with no incumbent running — Michael C. Burgess (R) previously held the seat. Open seats typically attract stronger candidates and heavier spending from both parties. The 2024 presidential election drove higher voter turnout, which can help or hurt down-ballot candidates depending on the top of the ticket. The wide margin suggests this district is firmly in the Republican column for the foreseeable future.
