I've been saying for weeks now, "Texans had to choose between a woman candidate and a black candidate and still set records in the primary. It would appear the Republicans are fucked."
Texas isn't in play for Democrats, lol. The primary turnout wasn't even close to that of say the 2004 election. For both parties combined the 2008 Texas Primary drew ~4 million voters. The Republican primary was meaningless as the McCain had already won by then, and Democrats always have higher attendance at their primaries for some reason. The 2004 General election drew ~ 9 million voters.

Texas will go to Republicans by 60% to 35% as always.
