Texas's 10th congressional district of theUnited States House of Representatives stretches from the northwestern portion of theGreater Houston region to theGreater Austin region. It includes Houstonsuburbs such asKaty,Cypress,Tomball, andPrairie View, cities in east-central Texas includingBrenham andColumbus, and northern Austin and some suburbs includingPflugerville,Bastrop,Manor, andElgin. The current representative isMichael McCaul.

For most of the time from 1903 to 2005, the 10th was centered on Austin. It originally included large portions of theTexas Hill Country. FuturePresidentLyndon B. Johnson represented this district from 1937 to 1949. During the second half of the 20th century, Austin's dramatic growth resulted in the district becoming more compact over the years. By the 1990s, it was reduced to little more than Austin itself and surrounding suburbs inTravis County.

However, in amid-decade redistricting conducted in 2003, the 10th was dramatically altered. It lost much of the southern portion of its territory. To make up for the loss in population, it was extended all the way to the outer fringes of Houston, making the new district heavily Republican. Five-termDemocratic incumbentLloyd Doggett was forced to transfer to another district. McCaul won the open seat in 2004, and has held it ever since.

Redistricting after the 2020 census made the district even more Republican, cutting out much of its territory closer to Houston while addingCollege Station, home toTexas A&M University.

For the118th and successive Congresses (based on redistricting following the2020 census), the district contains all or portions of the following counties and communities:^[7]

Due to the2003 mid-decade redistricting plan, the 10th's boundaries were gerrymandered forcing Democratic incumbentLloyd Doggett to redistrict to the25th district. Attorney Michael McCaul won the Republican nomination and ran without any major-party opposition.

IncumbentMichael McCaul faced Assistant Attorney of Austin Mike Siegel in the 2018 general election, winning by 4.3 percent of the vote. This is the closest contest McCaul has faced.^[13] The outcome was notable in a district that political experts rated as "Heavily Republican."^[14][15]

In the November 3, 2020 general election, incumbentMichael McCaul again defeated Austin Assistant Attorney Mike Siegel.
