Brazos County rancher Kyle Kacal earned the most votes after the Tuesday night count, but it was close.
Kacal, a Republican running for Texas House District 12 on the Republican side, edged Tucker Anderson.
Kacal had 4,230, or 50.88 percent. Anderson won 4,083 votes, or 49.11 percent.
Tuesday night, Anderson called Kacal and conceded the race.
Kacal is now set to face Democrat Robert Stem in the November general election.

Anderson actually won in four the five counties, but was defeated soundly in Brazos County, spelling defeat for the Calvert attorney.

Anderson won Robertson and Limestone Counties by wide margins, but only 2,205 of the total votes were cast there.
Falls and McLennan Counties had tight margins, but went to Anderson.
