Republicans fiercely targeted three South Texas congressional districts this year, but it appears they'll only come away with one victory to aid in their quest to regain control of the U.S. House of Representatives.The GOP has spent millions of dollars to flip the traditionally Democratic region after making inroads among Latinos in South Texas two years ago, especially as Republicans hone in on border security as their top issue.

But he is expected to secure another term, counting about 56 percent of the vote with about three-quarters of precincts reporting.
