Precinct Conventions April 3 at 7pm
Tarrant County Republican Party Chair Jennifer Hall has announced precinct conventions will be held April 3rd, 7:00 p.m. at various locations around the county. Due to the redistricting difficulties this election cycle the convention process will be separated from the primary (May 29, 2012). The State Republican Executive Committee voted to provide counties the option of holding precinct conventions and the Tarrant County Executive Committee voted on March 10, 2012 to exercise that option. A committee was formed to work out the logistics and locations of holding precinct conventions. All 2012 Convention information will be available from 2012 Conventions tab in the Header Menu. To proceed to Precinct Convention Page.

The Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Tarrant County held an emergency meeting Saturday, March 10, 2012 and voted without objection to hold precinct conventions on or about April 3rd. The exact time, date, and locations are to be finalized but will be published at http://tcgop.org and announced to the media as soon as they are available.
Lawsuits over redistricting lines have delayed the party primary and convention process statewide and prompted the State Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Texas to vote February 29th to remove the normal requirement for each county to hold precinct conventions. Instead, each county party will only hold precinct conventions if the county executive committee votes to do so. The Tarrant GOP was instrumental in convincing the RPT to preserve at least the option for each county to hold precinct conventions instead of canceling them outright as the Texas Democratic Party has done.
“Precinct conventions are fundamental to the Republican Party’s goal of maintaining a grassroots party organized from the bottom-up,” said Tarrant GOP Chairman Jennifer Hall. “They are the first opportunity for Republican voters to organize in their neighborhoods and elect representatives from among themselves to carry their voices forward to the State Convention. The TCGOP’s unanimous vote Saturday shows that we understand this and we are dedicated to doing the work necessary to remain conservative and preserve precinct conventions, regardless of the unique challenges presented by this election cycle.”
The Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Tarrant County is made up of the County Chair and all elected Republican Precinct Chairs. Other business at Saturday’s emergency meeting included the drawing for placement order on the Republican Primary ballot and election of temporary chairmen for each of the four Tarrant County senatorial district conventions that will occur on April 21st.

A Viewer’s Guide to the Supreme Court Case
From http://txredistricting.org
The start of a “January to remember” kicks off Monday afternoon at 1 p.m. (ET) with arguments in the Supreme Court about the interim legislative and congressional maps drawn by the San Antonio panel.
Here’s a preview of the case:
What will the Supreme Court decide?
There are three interlinked core issues.
The first, and most basic issue, is whether the San Antonio panel abused its discretion in drawing interim maps that did not hew closely enough to the maps adopted by the Texas Legislature.
Then, if the Supreme Court concludes that was the case, the court will have to explain to the San Antonio panel what it needs to do to fix the maps – or how it should draw new ones.
Related to that, the Supreme Court will need to decide whether there is enough time to fix any problems that it finds in the interim maps or whether it should just order the elections to go forward on the state’s maps (as the state argues) or the court-drawn interim maps.
Mixed in with those more pedestrian issues is the lurking and potentially explosive issue of whether the preclearance process under section 5 continues to be constitutionally viable nearly 50 years after enactment of the Voting Rights Act.
