There were votes for the other party in the zero vote counties of one party or at least in the ones I checked.

In all of them, in fact. Some counties held Democrat primaries only, some counties held Republican primaries only.

They are still trying to get the Statutes corrected to rectify the problem. The
primaries are under the control of the each Party and several counties have
no Party Chairman. Here is a link to an article about the problem.

Rural counties still struggling to hold Democratic primaries

snip
Of the 22 Texas counties without a Democratic Party chairman, nine are in the
Panhandle/South Plains region, according to the state party. Despite the new law,
in most of those counties, people wanting to vote in the Democratic primary can’t cast
a ballot, unless they vote in the GOP primary.
*****

On the Republican side, only four counties in the state don’t have a party chairman and
of those only sparsely populated Irion County, in the San Angelo area, is in West Texas.
