Not really. We've got raw voter counts (and there are similar numbers for Houston), but no indication of party.
My personal belief from what I've seen is that if Cruz does win, it wont be by a lot. This has been the most energized Ive seen Texas in awhile, and I think Beto is showing the way to try and win here for future moderate Democrats.
Of course, rump is here energizing the Republican base too so...
and I say moderate, because a NY type Democrat or a progressive like Bernie would get crushed to smithereens.

+20 is actually on the low side of current predictions.

Median projected Democrat gain in the House is ~40.
Of course that's all subject to change.
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

If I had to guess, where the high turnout is happening might be a sign. Dallas county, an area that IIRC is represented by 2 dems and 2 gop, leans much more (D) than the rest of the state (though not quite houston levels).
Edit: I should be clear, if you see similar increases in voter turnout in more heavily gop counties, it won't count for much.
I think I'm finally becoming old, because I'm very behind when it comes to memes. I remember "Now is the winter of our discount tent," but that was like 2007 at the latest (I know because of what was going on in my life at the time, ugh).
Back on topic, friend of mine who's originally from Houston said that the district she grew up in might turn blue for the first time in 50 years.

Oh, don't tell me bub.
I've not only linked fivethirtyeight on the front of this OP, I check it multiple times daily - even though I know that's not how it works. The trend is fantastic, and I'm excited to see the dramatic shift in favor of a major Blue Wave taking the House (and almost the Senate - fuckin' Cruz).
I'm also cautiously optimistic in my posts here. Especially with DocSavage asking me to down on record. Plus, the 2016 election was frightening from a percentage chance of XXX.

Yeah, I think sanininicus said it best. When we're unhappy with our reps, we flirt with the other party. Problem is, that takes a lot

Which is why we see a lot of "stop Californiaing our Texas"
fuckfaces (not you, the randoms complaining about california), this is what Republican themselves have been trying to do: draw people form out of state into our state.

yeah, the only way to stop it is to stop being so business friendly, and I think that's even more anathema to Texans.
and Beto is amazing. Granted Im fairly into Texas politics anyways, but its really nice to finally see a democratic candidate that isnt a 1 issue person or has the charisma of a tree.

My prediction it will be a draw where both sides claim victory especially Trump.
If the dems take Arizona senate seat then that could be a very important barometer for the dems.
My prediction is the Dems almost take the House and they win all the senate seats up for grabs except for North Dakota which still leaves them short to retake the senate.
It will be a night where everyone claims victory but still leaves the future about whats gonna happen in 2020 still very much a mystery.
