I believe Texas is proportional if no one gets over 50%.

I've been wondering how Texas works. Thanks.

-- I believe Texas is proportional if no one gets over 50% --

It is, and like SC, is also proportional based on winning congressional districts.

Texas Republican Delegation 2016

108 district delegates for 36 congressional districts. 50% gets all 3, 20% gets 2 from each district.

47 at large delegates for the state as a whole. 50% gets all of them, 20% entitles one to a proportional share.

I think Trump, Cruz and Rubio each get some share of the delegates from Texas.
