Democrats in Texas County will participate in the delegate selection process at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 7, at the Houston Senior Center.
The meeting is the first level of a multi-tiered process that will eventually lead to the selection of Democratic delegates and alternates to the Democratic National Convention July 25-28 in Philadelphia.

They will also be able to attend the Missouri State Democratic Convention on June 18. Delegates and alternates will be allocated to the presidential candidates to accurately reflect the expressed presidential preferences in next week’s presidential primary in Missouri.
Participation is open to all voters who wish to participate as Democrats, who are residents and Texas County registered voters. Qualifications are: At least 18 years of age, who declare themselves to be Democrats, are not members of any other political party and have voted in the presidential primary.
