It is now certain that the Primary date will be no earlier than May 29 and might well be later.

Since it is logistically impossible to compact our three-tier convention process into a ten day period and because even the May 29 date is not firm, it is essential that the Texas Democratic Party revise our Delegate Selection Plan to reflect the altered time frame.  I have instructed our staff to work with the DNC in constructing a Party driven plan that would start with the County/Senate District Conventions and move forward to the State Convention.  Under this scenario, we would have a two-tier process starting with the County/Senate District conventions at an as yet unscheduled date.  The State Convention will remain on June 7-9.

As soon as the plan has been constructed and aligned with National Rules, I will be putting it forward for comment and consideration.

Sincerely,

Boyd L. Richie
