Finally, after a lot of searching and a lot of complicated charts that weren’t exactly correct it appears that the Texas Delegates ended up totaling 115 for Cruz and 40 for Trump.

Complicated charts? There's no complicated charts. If the counts are correct per Congressional District, it's easy to figure out.

Cruz didn't get 50% (but for 2 CDs over 50%) or more of the vote so he gets 2 delegates per Texas congressional district as the highest vote getter and being over 20% That equal 2 x 34 CDs = 68, And the two CDs that Cruz got 50% or higher, he was awarded all three; 2 x 3 = 6 delegates. So that's 74 delegates in total.

For the 47 at large Texas delegates, since Cruz was under 50% of the vote, they are also proportional. Cruz won 30 of these at large delegates out of 47.

The formula see [Rule 38. Section 9.b.]

Statewide proportional of candidates 20% or more.
Cruz: 47 × 1,252,969[Cruz's votes] ÷ 2,022,284 [total TX votes] = 29.120 rounds up to 30 delegates.
Trump: 47 × 769,315 ÷ 2,022,284 = 17.880 truncates to 17 delegates.

Therefore Cruz wins 104 Texas delegates. This guy smoking something.

That sounds pretty straight forward to me.

That site seemed really iffy to me.

Is it one you’re familiar with?
