Texas Congressional District 2 is a U.S. House district in the Houston suburbs, currently represented by Republican Dan Crenshaw. It covers the northern and eastern edge of Harris County and reaches up into southern Montgomery County, pulling in communities like Kingwood, Humble, Atascocita, and parts of The Woodlands. The seat is on the ballot again on November 3, 2026.
Where the District Covers
The district sits in the suburban ring north and east of Houston. It is densely populated, largely residential, and has grown quickly over the past two decades. The current boundaries come from Plan C2193, the congressional map the Texas Legislature enacted during its Third Called Session in 2021 and that took effect in January 2023.1Texas Capitol – Redistricting.

How the Current Map Came to Be
Congressional districts are redrawn every ten years after the Census. After the 2020 count, Texas picked up two additional seats and now has 38.8U.S. Census Bureau. Apportionment 2020 Table C1 The state legislature draws the new map, and both chambers plus the Governor have to sign off. That process produced Plan C2193, with each district targeting an ideal population of 766,987 people.1Texas Capitol – Redistricting. Current Districts
The map is also being challenged in court. Advocacy groups have argued it violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act by diluting the voting power of minority groups, and the litigation has reached the U.S. Supreme Court.9Department of Justice. Redistricting Information For District 2 residents, the practical point is that the lines you vote under in 2026 could still shift if a court orders changes before the next Census-driven redistricting in the early 2030s.
Don’t Confuse It with State District 2
The number “2” also appears on Texas’s state legislative maps, and neither of those districts has anything to do with Congressional District 2. Texas Senate District 2 sits in Northeast Texas and is held by Senator Bob Hall.10The Texas State Senate. Senator Bob Hall – District 2 Texas House District 2, also in the northeastern part of the state, has been held by Representative Brent Money since January 2025. Both are drawn on their own maps, cover far fewer people, and send members to Austin rather than Washington. If you live in the Houston suburbs, your state senator and state representative are different people on different ballots.
