This was considered by some to be an extremely important Texas Senate election race.[3] Thought to potentially add to the competitiveness of this Senate race was District 29's historically low-voter turnout and Republican "Dee" Margo's close connections to President George W. Bush via First Lady Laura Bush's close friendship to "Dee" Margo's spouse, El Pasoan Adair Margo. As it turned out, Shapleigh won reelection in a race that was not that close.

House of Representatives
In the Texas House of Representatives, 117 of the 150 seats were contested in the November 2006 election. Thirty-two races were uncontested after the primary elections on March 7, 2006, while the remaining two were determined in the primary runoffs on April 11. One previously uncontested race came back into play with the withdrawal of the incumbent, thus allowing a new nomination process by both major parties.
21 new members were elected to the House of Representatives. Seven incumbents were defeated in the primaries, six ran for higher office, seven either retired or withdrew after the primaries, one died after winning the primary, and five lost in the general election.
