The 1962 Texas-16 win in El Paso was due to the Billie Sol Estes scandal.  The R winner there was defeated in 1964 and the seat has been D ever since. In 1964, Texas-5 in Dallas flipped back to D.

Three of the four new Florida seats went D (Gibbons, Pepper, Fuqua).

The Louisville KY-3 seat flipped back to D in 1964, but went R in 1966, back and frth thereafter.  Now solidly D (Yarmuth).

The two NC losses were the result of a Democratic goof-mander.

Tenn 3 in Chattanooga went R went a liberal defeated the conservative D in the primary.
