OK, Texans. There's a lot to unpack after this Election Day. And some key House, court and state education board races left to be called. We'll be here to unpack the results and what's next in Texas politics and policy. For now, we at the Tribune are going to call it a … night? morning? Well, you get the picture. Thanks so much for following along!

The future of the Texas State Board of Education remains undecided as of Wednesday morning, though early results show Democrats posing a serious threat to Republicans’ supermajority.

Democratic incumbent Tiffany Clark defeated Republican Carlos “Charlie” Garza to represent large portions of Dallas and Tarrant Counties — the only board race where the Associated Press declared a winner. Of the eight remaining races, Democrats and Republicans each lead four.

If those leads hold, Republicans’ 11–4 majority would shrink to 8–7, handing Democrats significant influence in key board decisions. That will soon include a rewrite of Texas’ math standards and the approval of social studies textbooks.

Questions also remain about how Democrat Gina Hinojosa, who won Texas’ gubernatorial race, would approach the board. The governor appoints its chair, a post currently held by Republican Aaron Kinsey.

Gov. Greg Abbott reappointed Kinsey earlier this year.

Democrats were leading in all of the contests for Texas’ highest courts as part of the blue tsunami, potentially shattering the GOP’s total dominance over statewide judicial offices.

The Associated Press has not declared a winner in any of these races, but around 90% of the estimated votes have been counted as of early Wednesday.

If the leads hold, this would mean a stunning end to several GOP incumbents’ tenure and an upset defeat for Republicans who had outraised their rivals. But the GOP would still have a 5-4 advantage on the Supreme Court and a 6-3 lead on the Court of Criminal Appeals, while Democrats would fully take over the three spots on the 15th Court of Appeals.
