Is Texas proportional or winner take all or a combo?

Winner-take-all.

Correction: Winner-take-most, technically. Definitely not proportional.

“Because the Texas Primary is being held during the first week of March, the RNC rule applies that the delegates be proportionally divided, if no candidate receives over 50% of the vote.”

Since Cruz won’t get over 50% it’s proportional if at least one other candidate gets over 20%.

Texas allocates the delegates proportionally by Congressional District and Statewide.

3 per each of the 36 CDs, 50%+ gets all, otherwise allocated
47 based upon statewide performance, Majority wins all otherwise allocated

108 CD
.47 Statewide
155 Total

It’s a little more detail than outlined above. Click the following link for details.
