Robert Lloyd Duncan (born August 5, 1953) is a Republican member of the Texas Senate from the 28th District, based in Lubbock. He was first elected to the Senate in a special election in 1996. He previously served in the Texas House of Representatives. He was succeeded in the House seat by his fellow Republican Carl Isett.[1]


In 2003, Duncan was a member of the Senate committee which conducted extensive hearings across the state on redistricting of the thirty-two Texas seats in the United States House of Representatives. The legislature ultimately approved a plan which in 2004 increased Republican membership in the Texas House seats from fifteen to twenty-one members. In 2006, however, the Democrats regained two of the previously Republican-held seats.
