Republicans in the Texas Senate have a lot to be happy about right now. We currently have 21 Republican Senators (a super majority) and recently flipped a seat held by a Democrat for well over 100 years to Republican hands - with the election of Senator Pete Flores.
There is a good summary in the article below and highlights that the Democrats are poised to start the upcoming legislative session with the fewest number of Democrat senators in modern times.
The "blue wave" is crashing into a "red tide" in the Texas Senate and with conservative powerhouses like Senator Ted Cruz, Governor Greg Abbott, and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick at the top of the ticket we have quite a Texas size "firewall"!

Tremendous victory tonight for Pete Flores who will become the 21st member of the Texas Senate Republican Caucus! This gives the Republicans in the Texas Senate a 2/3rds supermajority.
This victory shows the unified support from Texas Republicans all the way from US Senators Cruz and Cornyn, to Governor Abbott, to Lt. Governor Patrick, all 20 Texas Senate Republican Caucus members and many others. Despite what some pundits might say Republicans can win in 2018!
Texas Senate Republican Caucus Chair Paul Bettencourt (R-Houston) added: "With no straight ticket voting in 2020 I predict that Pete Flores can hold this seat in 2020."
