Oh yes, there is another one, with an Hispanic mother.

Leave it to the Economist to let me in on that:
Latinos and the election
Throwing votes away

Some obstacles stand in the way. As in other states, the Latino population in Texas is younger, poorer and less educated than the general population: all these characteristics correlate well with low turnout. More salient, perhaps, is the fact that Texan Republicans have made greater inroads with Hispanic voters (or offended fewer of them) than their colleagues in other states. The state party boasts a cadre of rising stars, including George P. Bush—nephew of the Hispanic-friendly W. and son of the Latina-marrying Jeb—and Ted Cruz, who will win a Senate seat in November.
I can see him pushed, in a rather calculated way, to appeal to an historically problematic demographic for the GOP.
