Voting is expected to take place throughout the state from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. local time . In the closed primary , candidates must meet a threshold of 15 percent at the state senatorial district or statewide level in order to be considered viable . The 228 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention will be allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the primary . Of the 228 pledged delegates , between 2 and 10 are allocated to each of the state 's 31 state senatorial districts and another 30 are allocated to party leaders and elected officials ( PLEO delegates ) , in addition to 49 at-large pledged delegates . Bonus delegates will be allocated as Texas shares a primary date with numerous other states on Super Tuesday ; these numbers do not yet account for these delegates
