2012
The 2012 County Convention took place on April 21, 2012, on Hyde Park Baptist Church's property. It was a combined convention featuring all four Senatorial Districts in one general location. Delegates may remember this as the "parking garage convention" as SD 14 (the largest of the districts) exceeded its time at Hyde Park Baptist's building in the early afternoon and re-convened on the second floor of their parking facility. A pickup truck and a megaphone served as the makeshift stage. The convention adjourned around 10:35 p.m.
Conventions date: Saturday, April 21, 2012, single location with combined opening ceremony for all SDs.

Credentials -- Chair Burt Pigg (rkpbc@aol.com, 512-264-2425): Checks all the Precinct delegate list submissions to ensure that only the appropriate delegates are seated for the convention.

Based on the convention rules will likely propose a small portion of the 35 delegates and all of the 35 alternates for approval by the convention body (most likely the majority of state delegates will be chosen by the delegates present from each precinct). Meets in advance and during the convention.

Presents final abbreviated and condensed list to convention body for approval and submission to state platform committee. Coordinates with Rules committee to ensure rules facilitate the most efficient method possible for appropriate debate when merited. Meets in advance and during the convention.
Rules -- Chair Jerri Lynn Ward (jward@garloward.com, 512-585-0491): Reviews prior convention rules and proposes any revisions needed based on past experience, RPT rules and the Texas Election Code. Proposes full set of rules under which the convention will operate to the convention body. Most critical rules provisions include the method of selection of delegates and alternate and the process for presenting and debating resolutions. Meets only in advance of the convention.
