Michael T. McCaul
TX-10 enters through the Republican-held flip route at 21.3. V0.9 replaces the flat 0.70 cap with the same partial-coverage rule the Democratic route uses: 65% of the route's evidence is available, so the weighted mean of 24.8 is scaled by 0.860, moving the score +7.1. V0.10 refreshes incumbent finance from the FEC candidate summary through 2026-07-30, moving the score +5.6 to 26.9.

SCORE ANATOMY
What makes the score
General-election competitiveness
0.7
The retained 2024 presidential result was R+24.8. A tied district begins at 100 and each Republican margin point subtracts four points.
Democratic primary
Not in this score
Not applicable to this Republican-held general-election route; no Democratic-primary value is imputed.
AIPAC support
Not in this score
Not used in this route because the retained candidate-level AIPAC model covers the Democratic incumbent field.
Incumbent alignment
Not in this score
Not used in this route because the retained alignment trackers cover Democratic incumbents.
Cash vulnerability
100.0
The FEC candidate summary snapshot (2026-07-30) reports $0 cash on hand, replacing the $131,069 release aggregate. The inverse log scale is 100 at $50,000 or less and 0 at $5 million or more.
State Democratic primary contestation
Not in this score
No retained state-legislative Democratic primary catalog records uncontested contests for this state, so the component is omitted and the available weight is renormalized.

Formula v0.9 Republican-held route: renormalized 0.45 × competitiveness + 0.20 × cash vulnerability + 0.15 × local context + 0.20 × state Democratic primary contestation (65% of component weight available) × 0.860 coverage multiplier; the former flat 0.70 cap is removed; v0.10 refreshes cash vulnerability from the FEC candidate summary snapshot
