Apparently this happened today. No response from the other campaigns as of yet according to Kolten Parker.

Pretty much seals the deal for me.

I thought Dewhurst was an insider. This confirms it.

Ted Cruz is my man, especially after the early attack ad run by Dewhurst.

Perry is a CROOKED CRONY. No more crony politics.

Dammit. Perry must still be taking his back pain drugs.

Cruz all the way.

All you Texas Freepers. Dewhurst is just another professional politician. Don’t vote for him. Ted Cruz is the real deal.

I agree! If you are going to vote for Dewhurst, hell just write in Kay Bailout-Hutchinson - he is the same "conservative in Texas, liberal in DC" person that he would be replacing!

TED CRUZ - all the way!

Perry wouldn’t have won his home state. Cruz is going to cruise to victory, and Perry can’t do a damn thing about it.

Ted Cruz is the Paul “Obamacare Oral Argument God” Clement of Texas, the conservative who’s able to articulate CONSERVATISM in a clear way off-the-cuff.

I can’t speak to Dewhurst, although it is hardly surprising that the sitting governor endorses his own sitting LtGov. It would have been considered a big slap if Perry did otherwise, would it not?

Unfortunately, it looks like Dewhurst is holding a big (if slightly decreasing) lead in RCP poll averages.

Shame on you FR Perry supporters.

He wants to send another RINO to the senate.

Perry is no friend to the Tea-Party.

Dewhurst? WTF Perry? I will be voting for Lela Pittenger if she can get some traction. Or Cruz if she doesn’t.
