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 3^rd.  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 29^th 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 21^st.

To All Republican Party Members,

As most Republican Party members are aware, the Texas Primary process has been complicated by the federal courts and it has become extremely confusing. In order for Texas to be able to have Delegates to send to the National Convention, a modified convention process must take place outside of the Texas Primary.

The State Republican Executive Committee is scheduled to meet in Austin for an emergency session on Wednesday February 29, 2012. Committee members will discuss and consider possible rule changes that will allow for an alternative Convention Process.  While still fluid and under discussion, the current drafts create logistical problems for Tarrant County as a whole. Republican activists from Tarrant County are working with local State Republican Executive Committee members to suggest changes to resolve these problems.  Please have patience with this process, and you can refer to one of our local SREC rules committee representative’s blogs on the subject here and here.

What is clear at this time is that the State Republican Convention is still scheduled to take place June 7-9, in Fort Worth. The local Convention process will be the topic of discussion and voted on at the Emergency State Republican Executive Meeting on February 29, 2012. The adopted rules will be posted on this website as soon as they become final.  Also, Tarrant County Executive Committee members should be prepared for the possibility of an “emergency executive committee” meeting being called in response to the finalized rule changes.

All Republican Party members must be aware that voter registration requirements will still be included, regardless of the final outcome. Any prospective delegate will be required to be registered 30 days prior to the start of the convention process.  In certain scenarios, this date is close at hand, so we encourage anyone who is not registered to register before the end of the month to ensure your eligibility in the Convention Process.

We would also like to point out that because of the continuing court battle over maps to conduct our Primary, the Tarrant County Elections Administration has not sent out new Voter Registration Cards.  This does not mean that you are not registered, as has been suggested on some websites and chat forums.   The new cards have simply not been mailed out because some districts are still in dispute.  You can view Tarrant County Elections Administration statement on this subject here and you can check your voter registration status at the Tarrant County Elections website here.
