This is from TX State House districe 48 race in central Texas.

15 votes seperate Howard (d) and Neil (R).

Name Party Votes Vote %
Howard, Donna (i) Dem 24,997 49%
Neil, Dan GOP 24,982 49%
Easton, Ben Lib 1,517 3%

As far as I know, Dan Neil has not asked for a recount, and have no clue as why not.

If they’ve already counted all of the absentees and Dan Neil is still behind by such few votes, he should definitely call for a recount. If he lost, he lost, but he owes it to his voters to make sure that he actually lost before conceding.

The counting isn't finished yet. They still have military, provisionals, and mailed ballots to count.

Statement from Dan Neil's campaign:

“It will be several days before every legal vote has been received and counted, including the votes of our servicemen and women defending our freedom overseas. After campaigning for this seat for a full year, I want to ensure every legal vote is counted through a fair and transparent process. Once that process has concluded, we will determine the appropriate course of action in order to ensure the will of the electorate is honored.”
