===2006 candidates===
The district has been served by Burt Solomons since 2000. Solomons ran unopposed in the Republican primary in 2006. John Shuey will oppose Crownover as the Libertarian candidate; the Democratic Party did not field a candidate. The winner will serve District 65 in the [[Eightieth Texas Legislature]]. The early favorite is the incumbent Solomons, who has name recognition, faces only minor party opposition and is the Republican candidate in GOP-dominated Denton County.
