Who are my U.S. senators in Texas?
Texas's two current U.S. senators are: Ted Cruz (R) — serving since 2013 John Cornyn (R) — serving since 2002 Both are Republicans. Senators serve 6-year terms, so this hasn't changed recently — but worth noting: Cornyn is up for re-election in 2026, and he lost the Republican renomination in a primary runoff to Ken Paxton in May 2026. So his seat will change hands after the November 3, 2026 general election, where Ken Paxton (R) will face James Talarico (D). Until then, Cornyn remains the sitting senator. Congress Countdown + 2

The response correctly identifies both senators (Cruz and Cornyn), but fabricates unsupported claims about a 2026 primary runoff loss to Ken Paxton and a general election matchup with James Talarico, which are invented future events not supported by the ground truth.
