The 2016 United States presidential election in Texas will take place on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participate. Texas voters will choose 38 electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting the Republican Party's presumptive nominee businessman Donald Trump and yet to be determined running mate against the as of yet to be determined nominee for the Democratic Party.
On March 1, 2016, in the presidential primaries, Texas voters expressed their preferences for the Democratic, Republican, and Green parties' respective nominees for President. According to the Republican Party of Texas website,
"In Texas, registered voters may vote in either political party’s primary; however, a voter may vote in only one party’s primary in each election cycle."
"If a voter votes in one party’s primary, he may not vote in the other party’s run-off election in that same year. Registered voters who do not vote in the primary election may vote in a run-off election of either party that year." [1]

After the caucus in Nevada, the tenth debate was held at the University of Houston in Houston and broadcast by CNN as its third of four debates, in conjunction with Telemundo. The debate aired five days before 14 states vote on Super Tuesday, March 1. While the debate was to be held in partnership with Telemundo's English-language counterpart NBC, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus announced on October 30, 2015, that it had suspended the partnership in response to CNBC's "bad faith" in handling the October 28, 2015, debate.[5][6] On January 18, 2016, the RNC announced that CNN would replace NBC News as the main host of the debate, in partnership with Telemundo and Salem Communications (CNN's conservative media partner). The debate was shifted a day earlier at the same time.[7] National Review was disinvited by the Republican National Committee from co-hosting the debate over its criticism of GOP front-runner Donald Trump.[8] On February 19, the criteria for invitation to the debate was announced: in addition to having official statements of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission and accepting the rules of the debate, candidates must have received at least 5% support in one of the first four election contests held in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada.[9] By these criteria, all five remaining candidates, Carson, Cruz, Kasich, Rubio, and Trump, qualified for invitation to the debate.
