Does this help?
“After the winners of Tuesday’s elections are sworn in, 63 of the 181 seats — 31 senators and 150 representatives — will be held by Democrats. Seven will be white. In contrast, Republicans will hold 118 seats. Only eight of them are minorities.”

Thanks, you led me to a source.
Looks like 98/52 for the Texas House

...and 20/11 for the State Senate

A few more seats in each would have been nice, but Patrick is not about to let the 11 Dems in the Senate bottle up legislation. The big variable will be Strauss in the House (assuming the Republicans are stupid enough to re-elect him as leader).
The implication is that republicans are racist, but they carve out those districts so that minorities can get elected, and it’s almost impossible to change them.
It is the Democrats who make an issue of Race, not Republicans!
