The Republican Party of Texas 2026 State Convention (June 11–13 in Houston) is where delegates will shape the Party Platform and Legislative Priorities that guide the 2027 legislative session. This whitepaper walks delegates through exactly how the convention works, from temporary committees to floor votes, and makes the case for two reforms that would give voters real power over their Party: closed primaries and term limits. Both can be advanced by Party rule, on solid First Amendment ground, without waiting for the Legislature.
