The 2018 Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts election took place on November 6, 2018, to elect the comptroller of public accounts of Texas. Incumbent Republican comptroller Glenn Hegar ran for re-election to a second term, and won the Republican primary unopposed. Business owner Joi Chevalier narrowly defeated former Austin Community College trustee Tim Mahoney in the Democratic primary. Hegar a second term, but with a greatly reduced margin from his first election, likely due to the down-ballot impact of Democrat Beto O'Rourke's near-victory against Republican Ted Cruz in the concurrent U.S. Senate election. Hegar earned 53% of the vote to Chevalier's 43%.
