Texas has given its votes to the Republican candidate in every U. S. Presidential Election back to and including 1980, but before 1980 Texas never gave its votes to the Republican candidate with the exceptions of Hoover in 1928, Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956 and Nixon in 1972.

What happens if Texas does not vote in the electoral vote?

The total number of electoral votes is 538 - 100 (senators) + 435 (representatives) + 3 (for DC). A majority is 270 - one more than half of the total number of 538. If Texas did not cast its electoral votes, the President still would be elected in the electoral college if a candidate received 270 electoral votes. If no candidate receives at least the required majority of 270 electoral votes, the Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution provides that the U.S. House of Representatives will select the president, with each of the fifty state delegations casting one vote, and the U.S. Senate will select the vice-president.
