"Santorum has noted in recent days that some Texas party activists are waging an uphill battle to change the rules of the May 29 primary so that whoever wins would get all 152 delegates up for grabs in the contest. "

What happened to the other three delegates?

Engraved-on-his-hands can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the three additional delegates are the state's superdelegates who, according to Republican Party rules, are selected by virtue of office and are not bound to vote for any candidate.

They are super delegates not bound to any candidate.
