United States House of Representatives elections in Texas, 2004
Encyclopedia
The 2004 House elections in Texas
occurred on November 2, 2004 to elect the members of the State
of Texas's delegation to the United States House of Representatives
. Texas had thirty-two seats in the House, apportioned according to the 2000 United States Census.
These elections occurred simultaneously with the United States Senate elections of 2004
, the United States House elections in other states, and various state and local elections.
Republicans gained five of Texas's House seats due to a midterm redistricting in 2003

in League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry
in 2006. Thus it and neighboring districts would be redrawn.
