District 65 is a district of the Texas House of Representatives that serves a portion of Denton County.
The current representative is Democrat Michelle Beckley, who was elected in 2018. Beckley will not run for reelection in 2022, as 2021 redistricting resulted in her being drawn outside of the district's new boundaries.[1][2]

The district includes northeastern parts of Lewisville, north half of Carrollton, all of Bartonville, Northlake, Justin, and Double Oak.
