• Attorney General: Johnson (Democratic) 52%, Middleton (Republican) 46% with all precincts counted. Republican Ken Paxton won this office in 2022 (Texas Secretary of State results site: 4,278,986 votes to 3,497,267) and left it to run for U.S. Senate, so it flips to the Democrats. Two independent news reports agree.
• Comptroller of Public Accounts: Eckhardt (Democratic) 51%, Huffines (Republican, current comptroller) 46% with all precincts counted. Republican Glenn Hegar won this office in 2022 (Texas Secretary of State results site: 4,496,319 votes to 3,265,069) and Republican Don Huffines was appointed to it in 2026, so it flips to the Democrats.

Two independent news reports agree.

No named news desk call was read. Republican Dawn Buckingham won this office in 2022 (Texas Secretary of State results site: 4,463,452 votes to 3,350,291), so it flips to the Democrats. Two independent news reports agree.
• Railroad Commissioner: Rosenthal (Democratic) 53%, French (Republican) 46% in the KPRC table with all precincts counted. Only one news report was read for this race, so it is left open. Republican Wayne Christian won this office in 2022 (Texas Secretary of State results site: 4,401,187 votes to 3,222,305), so if a second source confirms the 2026 count it moves to the Democrats.
