The 2016 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas were held on November 8, 2016, to elect the 36 U.S. Representatives from the State of Texas, one from each of the state's 36 congressional districts. The elections coincided with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections. The primaries were held on March 1.

The incumbent is Republican Louie Gohmert, who has represented the district since 2004. He was re-elected with 77% of the vote in 2014 and the district has a PVI of R+24. He faced a primary challenge from two competitors: Simon Winston, and Anthony Culler. Democrat Shirley McKellar, who lost to Gohmert in 2012 and 2014, will run for the district's seat again.

The incumbent is Republican Ted Poe, who has represented the district since 2004. He was re-elected with 68% of the vote in 2014 and the district has a PVI of R+16. He was unchallenged in the primary. Democrat Pat Bryan will run for the district's seat.

The incumbent is Republican Sam Johnson, who has represented the district since 1991. He was re-elected with 82% of the vote in 2014 and the district has a PVI of R+17.

State Representative Scott Turner is a potential Republican candidate whenever Johnson retires.
