Texas's 38th congressional district remains a solidly Republican seat heading into the November 2026 general election, with race ratings from Cook, Inside Elections, and Sabato classifying it as Safe or Solid Republican following post-2020 redistricting. The open seat, created by Wesley Hunt's retirement to pursue a Senate bid, saw Republican Jon Bonck secure the nomination after a May 2026 primary runoff victory over Shelly deZevallos, bolstered by Trump endorsement and fundraising advantages. Democratic candidates including Melissa McDonough face structural barriers in this suburban Houston district, where partisan voting index and historical results favor the GOP nominee by wide margins. Traders price the Republican outcome at 82.5 percent to reflect these entrenched factors, with limited recent developments altering the competitive landscape before the general election ballot is finalized.
