Here are your answers, based on certified 2020 results and the current (2025‑period) delegation:

1. What percentage of the total vote for U.S. House candidates in Texas (November 2020) went to Republicans? edit

In the 2020 U.S. House elections in Texas (36 seats at that time), Republican candidates received 5,926,712 votes, or ≈ 53.43% of the statewide totalBallotpedia[2]Politico[3].

2. After redistricting (based on the 2020 census), what percentage of Texas U.S. House members were Republicans? edit

Under the post‑2021 redistricting map, Texas gained two seats (going from 36 to 38). In the current 119th Congress, Republicans hold 25 out of 38 seats, giving them ≈ 65.8% of the delegationWikipedia[4].

3. If Texas redraws districts and 5 currently Democratic districts flip to Republicans, what would the GOP percentage be? edit

If Republicans gain 5 more seats (i.e. go from 25 to 30 seats out of a total of 38), then they would hold 30/38, which is ≈ 78.9% of Texas’s House delegation.
