While Democrats won most of Harris County on Tuesday, a stretch of west Harris County near the Katy Freeway stood out as a Republican stronghold.

The polls missed Texas again. This time by twice as much. The other way.

We told you two things about the Texas polls: they missed the final results by three to five points in each of the last three statewide elections and that nobody could tell you who was going to win. Turns out we were more right on that last part than we thought.
