The statement about partisanship in the Texas legislature that is correct is " Historically, partisanship has been rather low, but in recent years the legislature has moved into a more partisan era."

Right now the state of Texas is governed by Republicans. It has a Republican governor, the Senate is controlled by Republicans, and the House of Representatives is also controlled by Republicans. The state of Texas is one of the twenty-two states in America that is controlled by Republicans. The actual Governor of the state of Texas is Gregg Abbot.

The last time the Democrats had a governor in Texas was in 1994, and the last time they controlled the House of Representatives was in 2002.
