A Dallas-area district covering parts of Dallas and Collin counties, including Richardson and Garland.

General election · Tuesday, November 3, 2026

✓ Fact-checked 2026-09-25: 14 claims re-checked against their sources · 1 corrected · 0 removed

A second, independent research pass re-opened every cited source for this race and corrected or removed anything the source didn’t support.

  • Context claimed the Republican runoff was canceled 'after Binkley withdrew'; the cited Ballotpedia overview page only says the runoff was canceled and does not state a reason, so the unsupported reason was removed, keeping the fact that the runoff was canceled and Yarbrough advanced.
