The Claim

Texas has 38 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

Official federal and Texas state sources clearly show that Texas has 38 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. The 2020 Census apportionment gave Texas 38 seats, and current House, Congress.gov, and Texas election listings all align with that number. A minor secondary-source error about the size of Texas’s gain does not change the confirmed total.

Caveats

  • The seat count is based on current apportionment after the 2020 Census; future censuses could change it.
  • One low-authority secondary source contains an error about how many seats Texas gained, but not about the current total of 38.
  • The claim concerns U.S. House seats only, not seats in the Texas Legislature or the U.S. Senate.
