The Texas lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 6, 1990, to elect the Lieutenant Governor of Texas. Incumbent Comptroller Bob Bullock was elected over Republican Robert Mosbacher Jr. Bullock's term as Comptroller was complicated, despite his public drinking problem and proneness to outbursts he was popular because of his record that included large settlements that benefited the state and its citizens.[3] Mosbacher had previously run for public office in 1984 when he ran in the Republican Primary for Texas' Senate seat. Since 1986 he had been CEO of his families Energy company, Mosbacher Energy.[4]
Primaries
Because neither Bullock or Mosbacher were opposed in their parties primaries, the Texas Almanac did not report their total vote count.[5]
