Will the Republican Party win the TX-26 House seat?

The market is pricing Republicans as heavy favorites at 89¢ with minimal recent price movement and zero 24-hour volume, suggesting limited trader interest despite $20.8K in open interest. The extreme implied yield asymmetry—22.5% for Yes versus 1,471.7% for No—reflects the lopsided probability, creating outsized returns for contrarian bets on a Democratic upset. With 201 days to expiry and a tight 2¢ spread, this appears to be a stable, low-liquidity market where the consensus view of Republican dominance in TX-26 is well-established but untested by recent trading activity.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the TX-26 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The midterm elections will take place on November 4, 2026. ​A candidate's party will be determined by their ballot-listed or otherwise identifiable affiliation with that party at the time all of the 2026 House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. A candidate without a ballot-listed affiliation to either the Democrat or Republican parties will be considered a member of one of these parties based on the party with which they most recently expressed their intent to caucus at the time all of the House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. This market will resolve based on the result of the election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the United States government, specifically the Federal Election Commission (https://www.fec.gov/).
