State House Returns Thread

By Byron LaMasters

I'll be focusing on the returns for the state house races in this thread. Feel free to use the comment thread as an open thread on the Texas House races until things get going... I'll start posting as soon as the polls close, and the early vote comes in at 7 PM. Thirty-seven percent of Travis County voted early, and those returns should be posted shortly after 7 PM -- so we'll probably have a good idea on the Strama and White races early on. Texas returns will come in here, Travis County returns will come in here, Dallas County here and Harris County here.
