Who is my U.S. representative in TX-02?
Your current sitting representative for TX-02 is Dan Crenshaw (R) — he's still in office through the end of this Congress. However, that's about to change: Crenshaw lost the Republican primary on March 3, 2026, to Texas State Representative Steve Toth. Toth defeated Crenshaw and two other Republicans in that primary. Toth will now face Democrat Shaun Finnie in the general election on November 3, 2026, and — since TX-02 is heavily Republican — is heavily favored to become the district's next representative starting in January 2027. Tex Ballotpedia So to summarize: Right now: Dan Crenshaw (R) After this term: Likely Steve Toth (R), pending the November 2026 general election One caveat worth flagging: Texas redrew its congressional district boundaries in August 2025, and that map has been tied up in litigation — a federal panel blocked its use in November 2025, but the Supreme Court reinstated it days later and then ruled in December 2025 that the new map could be used for the 2026 elections. So if you're not sure which district you're actually in under the new lines, it's worth double-checking with your county elections office or the Texas Secretary of State's site.
