Texas voters are heading to the polls Tuesday to cast their votes in a high-profile race that will decide if Gov. Greg Abbott continues to lead the state or if a new person steps into the role.

Abbott, who was first elected in 2014, is running for a fourth term and would become the state's longest-serving governor if he secures the vote.

It could be a tight race between the incumbent governor and his Democratic challenger, State Rep. Gina Hinojosa, who is making her first attempt at the state's top job.
