The 1994 Texas lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 8, 1994, to elect the Lieutenant Governor of Texas. Incumbent Democrat Bob Bullock successfully ran for re-election against Republican Attorney Tex Lezar and won in a landslide. Bullock had announced his intent to run for re-election through a newsletter in September 1992; the early announcement was a signature of his and allowed him to begin fundraising much earlier and helped to dissuade potential opponents from challenging him.[2] As of 2025, this is the last time a Democrat has won Texas statewide.
