Democratic Republican The 2000 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas occurred on November 7, 2000, to elect the members of the state of Texas's delegation to the United States House of Representatives. Texas had thirty seats in the House, apportioned according to the 1990 United States census.

These elections occurred simultaneously with the United States Senate elections of 2000, the United States House elections in other states, and various state and local elections. Despite the presence of Texas governor George W. Bush as the Republican nominee for president and his landslide victory in the state, the Democratic Party retained its majority of House seats.

Texas was one of five states in which the party that won the state's popular vote did not win a majority of seats in 2000, the other states being Missouri, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
