The Texas lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 8, 1994, to elect the Lieutenant Governor of Texas. Incumbent Democrat Bob Bullock successfully ran for re-election against Republican; Attorney Tex Lezar and won in a landslide. Bullock had announced his intent to run for re-election through a newsletter in September 1992, the early announcement was a signature of his and allowed him to begin fundraising much earlier and helped to dissuade potential opponents from challenging him. As of 2024 this is the last time a Democrat has won the lieutenant governor's office and the most recent in which both candidates have since died.
