The 1992 United States presidential election in Texas took place on November 3, 1992, as part of the 1992 United States presidential election. Voters chose thirty-two representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.

Texas was won by incumbent President George H.W. Bush (R-Texas) with 40.56% of the popular vote over Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 37.08%. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third with 22.01% of the popular vote.^[1] Clinton ultimately won the national vote, defeating incumbent President Bush.^[2] He was the first Democrat to win a presidential election without Texas since its statehood. This was the closest in presidential history that Texas almost went Democratic, due to the impact that Perot had.

Bush at the controversial signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), commenced in San Antonio, Texas on December 17, 1992. Signing was critical international policy decision made by Bush two weeks following his 1992 electoral defeat.
