District 1 is a district in the Texas House of Representatives. It was created in the 3rd legislature (1849–1851).

The district has been represented by Republican Gary VanDeaver since January 13, 2015, upon his initial election to the Texas House.[1]

As a result of redistricting after the 2020 Federal census, from the 2022 elections the district encompasses all of Bowie, Cass, Lamar, Morris, and Red River Counties. Major cities in the district include Atlanta, Douglasville, Linden, New Boston, Paris, and Texarkana.[2]
