The Texas House Elections Committee holds a hearing on April 20 (Monday) at 2 p.m. One bill on the agenda is HB 1892, which would require all qualified parties to nominate by primary. The other bill of interest being heard is HB 1821, which would establish registration by political party and which would make it illegal for a member of a qualified party to sign an independent candidate’s petition, or a petition for a new party.
