The Texas lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 6, 1990, to elect the Lieutenant Governor of Texas.

[2] 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.
