My guess is that BELO has set the criteria so Medina won’t be included based upon this release.

DALLAS — A second televised debate between the top two Republican candidates for governor has been scheduled for Jan. 29...........

The News reported that a third Republican gubernatorial candidate, Debra Medina, did not meet Belo’s criteria to be included in the debate.

Yeah, apparently she needs 15% in the polls:

Only poll I'm aware of so far had her at 7%.
