I checked over at the Texas Tribune (dot org), and Joe is still ahead, howbeit at a razor-thin lead with a lot of red counties still to be counted. Many of the more populous East Texas counties have been tabulated. Whoever wins Texas will win by a squeaker.

Assuming we have free and fair elections in 2024, Texas will be a swing state, not a red-trending State like Florida.

The absentee ballots won't be counted
until tomorrow.

600,000 voted here, and the vast majority are Dem.
