I think that would be even more difficult. The last Senator Texas elected was Ted Cruz.

Actually the last Democratic US Senator from Texas was Bob Krueger who was in office for only 5 months, and was appointed by Ann Richards to replace Lloyd Bentsen. IIRC, Bentsen was the last ELECTED Democratic Senator and he was elected in 1970. So I would say it’s pretty slim chances for any Democrat to be elected to state-wide office any time soon.
