They are open, but you have to state whether you are voting in the Republican primary or the Democrat primary.
When I was asked that question at the voting precinct, I stated “Well, until there is an official Tea Party, I’ll have to go with the Republican primary, I guess.”

LOL...I told our poll workers, after they asked me that question, “Normally, Republican, but I’m not sure! I’m not too happy with them, right now”. They sort of chuckled.
That is how our primaries run as well. So followup question.....has there been any rumblings about the enemy crossing the lines to “help” Cornyn?
But, the good thing about the Texas Primary system is, if you vote in one Party’s Primary, you CANNOT vote in the other Party’s Primary Run-Off Election, if there is a run-off. You are locked in to the Party for whose Primary you voted. So, any Dems who vote in the Dem Primary (because a lot of “local” races are still decided in the Dem Primary in Texas), cannot come back and vote in the GOP Run-Off later. Also, most Texas Democrats hate the GOP so badly, they would never want public voting records showing that they voted in a Republican Primary.
