Candidates
- Doran John Haesly (Dallas)
- Harve H. Haines (Port Arthur)
- C. O. Harris (San Angelo)
Results
Harris refused to participate in the runoff, causing Haesly to win by default.
General election
Sixteen counties failed to report their results to the Texas Secretary of State in time to be canvassed, so their results are not included in the official vote totals.
