Texas District 20 of the United States House of Representatives is a Congressional district that serves much of inner city San Antonio, which is heavily Latino/Hispanic (predominantly Mexican American), and the surrounding area. The current Representative from District 20 is Charlie Gonzalez.

This is a heavily democratic district and the district has not voted for a Republican for president since 1956. In 1972, this was one of two congressional districts in the state of Texas to vote for George McGovern (the other being CD 18 in Houston.) In 1984, this district gave Walter Mondale 59% of the vote.
