Where else can you wade into a throng of 9,000 die-hard Republican voters? Only at the Texas State Republican Convention! If you have never attended, what are you waiting for? As it is a 3 step process, many people are put off by the process by which you get there. But with a little bit of planning, you can get your PTO arranged, transportation to Houston and back and find a roommate/buddy to share that hotel expense. Texas has been RED for all these years because 9,000 of you step up every year to be a part of this! It is an honor and a privilege to be a Texas State Convention Delegate and/or Alternate Delegate and represent your Senate District and active Republicans who want to go are likely to be elected as a delegate to attend.
THE PRECINCT CONVENTION: Republican Primary Election: Early voting begins February 14, 2026 and closes February 28, 2026. March 3, 2026 is Election Day. This election is a hard one because you have to pick between only Republicans. The Precinct Convention date has not yet been set for but generally will be set by the Dallas County Republican Party Chairman somewhere in the 5-7 days following March 3, 2026 from 5:30pm – 8pm (place TBD). If your Precinct Chairman does not show up to run the Precinct Convention meeting, then you are entitled to pick it up and the instructions will be in your packet. The venues have not yet been determined, but we will gather by Senate District. At your Precinct Convention you can sign up to be a delegate to your Senate District Convention, to be held March 26, 2026 (venue to be determined). If there is only one space available for Delegate status, sign up as Alternate or you may sign up as Delegate through the Nominations Committee approximately two weeks PRIOR to the Senate District Convention.
THE SENATE DISTRICT CONVENTION: Generally will be held the 3rd Saturday of March at a venue determined by the SD Convention Chair. The statewide date is to be set by Republican Party of Texas Chairman Abraham George. You MUST attend this meeting to be elected as a delegate to the State Convention. If you are SURE you can attend the Texas State Republican Convention in Houston, please sign up to be a Delegate. If you are not sure, PLEASE sign up to be an ALTERNATE DELEGATE, 95-100% of ALTERNATES are elevated to full DELEGATE status at Convention once you arrive due to unexpected circumstances, some people cannot attend last minute. This is not for resume building.
