2012 United States presidential election in Texas

The 2012 Texas Republican primary was held May 29, 2012.^[1]^[2]

152 delegates were chosen, for a total of 155 delegates to go to the national convention.

Background

The election was originally scheduled to take place on Super Tuesday, March 6.^[3] Due to litigation over the state's redistricting following the 2010 United States Census, it was rescheduled for April 3.^[4]^[5] That date also became uncertain and the primary was expected to be held, at the earliest, in late May 2012, with both May 22^[3] and May 29^[6] being proposed. U.S. District Court judge Xavier Rodriguez, one of the three judges overseeing the litigation, had suggested a June 26 date for the election.^[3]
