The1984 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas occurred on November 6, 1984, to elect the members of the state of Texas's delegation to theUnited States House of Representatives.Texas had twenty-seven seats in the House, apportioned according to the1980 United States census.[1]

Texas underwentmid-decade redistricting due to theDistrict Court case Upham v. Seamon. The U.S. Department of Justice objected to the boundaries ofDistrict 15 andDistrict 27 adopted by theTexas Legislature in 1981 under preclearance established by Section 5 of theVoting Rights Act of 1965.[2] The court's modified districts were used in1982, and the Legislature modified other districts in 1983, keeping the court-modified districts in place.[3]

These elections occurred simultaneously with theUnited States Senate elections of 1984, theUnited States House elections in other states, thepresidential election, and various state and local elections.

Democrats maintained their majority of U.S. House seats from Texas. Still, they lost four seats to theRepublicans, who rode the coattails of presidentRonald Reagan's re-election.[4] The Republicans in those four seats, as well as two other freshmen Republicans, would later become known as theTexas Six Pack.
