The 1900 United States presidential election in Texas took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the 1900 United States presidential election. State voters chose 15 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.

Contents

Texas was won by the Democratic nominees, former U.S. Representative William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska and his running mate Adlai Stevenson I of Illinois. They defeated incumbent President William McKinley and his running mate Theodore Roosevelt of New York. Bryan won Texas by a margin of 32.39%.

Bryan had previously won Texas against McKinley in four years earlier and would later win the state again against William Howard Taft in 1908. As of the 2024 election, this is the last time that a Republican won two terms to the presidency without carrying Texas at least once.
