Energy Regulation: Democrat Jon Rosenthal won a seat on the Railroad Commission, which oversees the oil and gas industry, ending a decades-long stretch without a Democratic winner in a statewide commission race.

Congress: Republican Mark Teixeira won the open 21st District seat, succeeding Chip Roy.
