| dbo:abstract | 2008 elections for the Texas Legislature were held on Tuesday, November 4, 2008, in the U.S. state of Texas. The Texas Legislature election was conducted concurrently with the election for the 2008 United States presidential race, the United States Senate seat of Republican John Cornyn, and the state's 32 congressional representatives. Successful candidates served in the 81st Texas Legislature, that convened on January 13, 2009, at the Texas State Capitol in Austin through June 1, 2009. This election marks the last time until 2020 that both parties flipped seats in a regularly-scheduled state house election, as well as the last time the Democrats won more than 45% of the seats in the Texas House of Representatives. Additionally, as of 2020, this is the last time Democrats won a state house race in Angelina, Archer, Bee, Borden, Bowie, Caldwell, Cass, Cherokee, Crosby, Delta, Falls, Fisher, Franklin, Garza, Glasscock, Hale, Hopkins, Houston, Howard, Irion, Jim Wells, Jones, Kent, Lamar, Leon, Lynn, Madison, Marion, McLennan, Morris, Panola, Reagan, Red River, Robertson, Rusk, San Jacinto, Sterling, Stonewall, Terry, Titus, Trinity, Tyler, and Wichita county. This is also the first time Republicans won a state house race in Lee County since 2000, Burleson County since 1998, Fayette County since 1922, Colorado County since 1898, and Bastrop County since 1874.
