U.S. House, Texas District 9

2-year termOpen seat under the new lines: incumbent Al Green (D, TX-09 under the prior map) ran instead in the new TX-18 and lost the May 26, 2026 Democratic runoff there. Mealer won the May 26, 2026 Republican runoff. Independent Roy Morales filed but his application was rejected by the Secretary of State. District lines: PlanC2333 (H.B. 4, 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session, signed Aug. 29, 2025). A federal panel enjoined it Nov. 18, 2025; the U.S. Supreme Court stayed that order Dec. 4, 2025 and summarily reversed on April 27, 2026 (Abbott v. LULAC), so PlanC2333 governs the 2026 election. Other suits remain pending. No Libertarian or declared write-in candidate appears for this district on the Secretary of State listing.
