>>Had I not voted in the GOP Primary, Id vote for her in the run-off.<<
So, if you’ve already voted in the initial primary, you have to stay with the same party in any runoff? You can’t switch parties for the runoff?
Just wondering....

ELECTION CODE
TITLE 10. POLITICAL PARTIES
SUBTITLE B. PARTIES NOMINATING BY PRIMARY ELECTION
CHAPTER 172. PRIMARY ELECTIONS
SUBCHAPTER E. CONDUCT OF ELECTION
Sec. 172.125. ADDITIONAL PROCEDURE FOR ACCEPTING VOTERS IN RUNOFF.
(a) For a runoff primary election, the voter registrar shall enter on the list of registered voters a notation beside each voter's name indicating the preceding party primary for which the voter was accepted for voting, if any.
(b) An election officer at a runoff primary election polling place shall determine whether the name of a voter offering to vote is noted on the list as having been accepted for voting in another party's primary. If the voter's name is so noted, the voter may not be accepted for voting at the runoff unless the voter executes an affidavit stating that the voter did not vote in the primary or participate in a convention of another party during the same voting year.
You may not switch parties in between primary and runoff, in Texas. You can switch parties between now and November though.

Correct. In Texas, if you vote in the GOP Primary, you CANNOT vote in the Democrat run-off election. And vice versa. Which is only fair.
