Texas Democrats are feeling optimistic as they start their convention. They think they have a good chance of winning a statewide seat in November, which would be a significant achievement since they haven't done so in over three decades. Details about the convention and the party's plans are available from the Denton Record-Chronicle.

A recent poll from the Texas Politics Project has provided some support for the Democrats' hopes. Further information about the poll and the Democrats' prospects can be found in the original article, which provides more context and insights into the situation.
