The Republican Party of Texas (RPT) Convention process occurs every two years, and is how the Republican grassroots determine the RPT Platform and priorities for each bi-annual Texas legislative session.

​

There are three stages at the state level, with a fourth stage at the national level every four years during Presidential election cycles:

1. Precinct Conventions

2. El Paso County Convention

3. The RPT State Convention

4. The Republican National Convention (every four years)

​

Two things happen at each stage, but the process is different at each level:

1. Resolutions for the Party Platform are debated and voted on

2. Delegates and Alternates to the next level convention are selected (except at the fourth stage, since there’s nothing higher)

​​

To be a delegate at your Precinct Convention, all you need to do is show up. As is the case at each level, two things happen here:

• Resolutions: you may bring resolutions to be considered for the Party Platform. The delegates at the Precinct Convention will discuss and vote on each resolution to determine whether it will move to the next level, the SD/County Convention

• Delegate/Alternate Selection: those who wish to be a delegate to the SD/County Convention may apply at your Precinct Convention, or have someone apply on your behalf. You can also apply here to be a delegate to the State Convention, or may with the Nominations Committee. Delegates/Alternates will be selected prior to the SD/County Conventions, so if you want to go to the State Convention, make sure your name is on the list in advance
