Overview
- Givens led 54% to 46% after Dallas counted tens of thousands of late ballots, and Creuzot conceded the race.
- The Texas Supreme Court stayed a local order that extended voting hours, leaving unresolved questions about ballots cast after the original poll closing time.
- With no GOP opponent in November, Givens is expected to take office in January and would be the first Black woman elected Dallas County district attorney.
- Givens is appealing a 2025 public reprimand by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct, and reports indicate any outcome will not prevent her from serving.
- Outspent and lacking major institutional backing, she credited a grassroots, faith-driven effort—boosted by turnout organizers including Jasmine Crockett—and pledged a community-focused office with a stronger case-intake process.
