The Texas House Democratic Campaign Committee is the central vehicle working to elect and re-elect strong Democrats to the Texas House. While there are dozens of Democratic groups and political action committees around the state, the HDCC is the only organization dedicated solely to building and maintaining a Democratic majority in the State House.

In 2006, the HDCC was the most successful Democratic political organization in Texas. Democrats began 2006 outnumbered 87-63 by Republicans in the House and faced the daunting task of re-electing 13 Democrats in Republican-leaning and toss-up districts. By the end of 2006, Democrats had successfully returned every vulnerable incumbent to the House and defeated 6 House Republicans, narrowing their margin to 81-69. By winning Rep. Dan Barrett's special election December and with Rep. Kirk England joining the Democrats our number has grown to 71, which means only 5 seats are needed for a Democratic majority in the State House.
