The 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas was held on November 3, 2020, to elect the 36 U.S. representatives from the state of Texas, one from each of the state's 36 congressional districts. The elections coincided with the

were able to retain control over all of those seats. The Democratic-held 15th district also became unexpectedly competitive, with incumbent Representative Vicente Gonzalez attaining a narrow win over the Republican challenger. The Republican wins were attributed to President Donald Trump appearing on the ballot and his unexpectedly strong support from Latino voters, as well as the Democrats' campaigning methods.

Ballot litigation

Some Green Party candidates were removed from the ballot due to a failure to pay filing fees. However, in September 2020, the Texas Supreme Court rejected a Republican attempt to remove 44 Libertarian Party candidates from the November 2020 general election ballot because they failed to pay filing fees. The court ruled that the Republicans missed the state Election Code's deadline to raise such a challenge.
