Texas was 52/43 for Trump in 2016, so I believe the Dems have a long way to go.
However, Texas darn near elected the nut bar Bee Toe over Cruz
Where Ted Cruzs close victory over Beto ORourke stands among Texas' historical election results
"With a loss Tuesday night by about 2.6 percentage points or around 223,000 votes, U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke got closer to toppling an incumbent Republican senator than anyone has in 40 years, which could portend a shifting Texas electorate"
The irony regarding historical political party strength is that Texas has elected more Democrats at both the state and national level, than California has.
Since Texas doesn't register by party, it's more difficult to find trends, but the way Texas is being swamped with illegal aliens and how migration into the state is generally occurring (more growth in liberal big cities), it is not unreasonable to think Texas could go back to being blue in the near term.
