So tell me again how Texas is a wholly owned subsidiary of the GOP.
In every statewide office, the winner of the GOP primaries is the person who gets the office. John Cornyn will return to the Senate, Dan Patrick will be the new Lt. Governor and Greg Abbot will be the governor.
The last democrat to win state-wide office was probably Bob Bullock who won in 1991...or 23 years ago if you're scoring at home (with The T more than likely). It has gone republican since 1976.
Beyond the stats, it embodies all of the conservative principles; hatred of women, hatred of all non white, non Christian, and non male voting groups. It's likely the worst state in the union to be a worker or a child of a poor-to-middle class individual.
Cities with large population centers of minorities tend to go Democratic and you see these districts doing better than the rural ones (shock)
