*In elections in years ending in 2 (the election after the Census), all 31 seats are up for election.
*Once the Senate meets in session after said election, the Senators will participate in a drawing to determine their election cycle:
**One-half will have a 2-4-4 cycle, whereupon the seat would stand for election inafter two years (the year ending in 4) for a four-year term, followed by twoanother four-year cyclesterm (elected in the yearsyear ending in 8 and 2).
**The other half will have a 4-4-2 cycle, whereupon the seat would stand for election inafter four years (the year ending in 6), followed byfor another four-year cycleterm, (thefollowed yearby endinga intwo-year 0)term but then the seat would stand for election(elected in only two years (the year ending in 20).
As such, every two years, about half of the Texas Senate is on the ballot.
