2000 Texas House of Representatives election

The 2000 Texas House of Representatives elections took place as part of the biennial United States elections. Texas voters elected state representatives in all 150 State House of Representatives districts. The winners of this election served in the 77th Texas Legislature. State representatives serve for two-year terms. There was no net change in seat control, leaving Democrats with their majority of 78 out of 150 seats. As of , this is the last time Democrats won control of the Texas House of Representatives.

Background Democrats had held control of the Texas House of Representatives since Reconstruction despite Republicans winning the governorship in 1994 and the Texas Senate in 1996.

Results Democrats flipped one Republican-held seat, and Republicans flipped one Democratic-held seat, resulting in no net change. There were very few close races across the state. Democrats' victory allowed them to maintain their last foothold of power across the state, preventing the establishment of a Republican trifecta. This also prevented complete Republican control over the upcoming redistricting which was to take place after the 2000 census.
