A Texas voter needs to vote in the primary to allocate 126 of the delegates. Texas has 31 state Senate districts, and delegates are distributed according to a formula based on past voter turn-out.

15 min. after the polls close, voters go back to caucus (only those who voted are allowed to caucus) to resolve the other 67 delegates based on attendance.

Texas also has 35 superdelegates not affected by the voting.
