Jon Bonck (R) defeated Shelly deZevallos (R) in the Republican primary runoff for Texas' 38th Congressional District on May 26, 2026.

Bonck and deZevallos were the top two finishers in the March 3 primary with 47.7% and 18.6% of the vote, respectively. They advanced to a runoff because neither received more than 50% of the vote. Bonck will face Melissa McDonough (D) and two other candidates in the November 3, 2026, general election.

Incumbent Wesley Hunt (R) ran for U.S. Senate rather than seeking re-election, leaving the seat open.
