Houston voters made their voices heard on Tuesday. Here are the county's key results. The big picture: While many of the races have been decided — from former Mayor Sylvester Turner, a Democrat, winning the late Sheila Jackson Lee's seat in U.

Instead, he waited hours to learn whether his razor-thin lead over the Republican candidate for district attorney was enough to win ... more than 1 percentage point — after the closing of Harris County polling centers. Teare held onto that lead ...

As polls closed on Tuesday night, it has become a tight race for the next Harris County district attorney between Democrat Sean Teare and Republican Dan Simons.

The race for the Harris County District Attorney's seat was in close margins early Wednesday, with Dem. Sean Teare leading with just 50.81 percent of the vote against Rep. Dan Simons by 7 a.m.

Democrat Sean Teare’s lead over Republican Dan Simon slowly widened early Wednesday in the race to become Harris County’s first new district attorney in eight years. The race remained too close to call seven hours after polls closed Tuesday evening with Teare clinging to a slight lead in a race that was not expected to be tight.

With the polls closed and unofficial early voting results released, Democrat Sean Teare holds a narrow lead over Republican Dan Simons for Harris County District Attorney.
