In the wee hours after the big GOP sweep, Speaker Joe Straus released a list of 126 returning House members who he said have pledged to elect him to a second term as the chamber's helmsman in January.

I am proud that Republicans have gained a record number of seats in the Texas House, reversing the losing trend for the past three election cycles."
