Texas is not as conservative as it once was. All indications point to the state going tossup purple. Fact is we are just about there now but the main issue is jerryrigged districts which split up the large urban population centers into small pieces lumping them into large swaths of rural Conservative areas. But even some of those districts are getting to the point of flipping. Several long time state legislator Republicans have announced they are not running for reelection. They see the writing on the wall, the majority had close elections the last time around and don't feel they can hold on in the next election. Conversely those very companies you mentioned (except Juul, Don't know anything about them nor do I like them(quickly stopped using vape as soon as the news started covering the health issues... but I digress..)) tend to push for Progressive issues especially social equality.
