Texas was won by the Democratic nominees, Chief Judge Alton B. Parker of New York and his running mate Henry G. Davis of West Virginia. They defeated the Republican nominees, incumbent President Theodore Roosevelt and his running mate Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana. Parker won Texas by a margin of 49.55%.

This election arguably marked the end of Reconstruction in Texas, with voter turnout plunging by over half following the introduction of poll taxes in the state two years prior.

With 71.45% of the popular vote, Texas would prove to be Parker's fifth strongest state in the 1904 presidential election after South Carolina, Mississippi, neighboring Louisiana and Alabama.[1]

As of the 2020 election, this was the last election which Duval County voted for the Republican candidate.
