Texas nationalist leader Daniel Miller said his group was seeking "political, cultural and economic independence" for the state.

While 99% of votes in Texas have been counted, there are some provisional ballots and mail-in ballots that have not yet been tabulated.

After the nomination of President-elect Donald Trump, many are wondering if a recount will take place. Here's what state law says.

Texas Republican candidates won every statewide race on Tuesday’s ballot and maintained a tight grip on the state Legislature.

Cruz retained his seat, beating back Colin Allred and keeping alive Texas’ streak of not electing a Democratic Senator in more than 30 years.

Recent gains made by Democrats in past elections were wiped out, as Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and other Republicans won by wide margins.

As of early Wednesday, the Republican was leading election returns in Brownsville’s Cameron County, McAllen’s Hidalgo County and even Laredo’s Webb County.

The outcome bolsters Gov. Greg Abbott, who has been pushing to stack the Legislature with Republicans supportive of his private school voucher plan.

Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has won reelection in Texas to a third term after a campaign in which he criticized his Democratic challenger as too liberal.

If those results hold, the GOP will control at least 88 of 150 seats in the lower chamber when the Legislature reconvenes in January. That margin will give Gov. Greg Abbott “more than enough votes” to finally pass a school voucher bill, he said late Tuesday.
