Former vice president Joe Biden capped a stunning wave of Super Tuesday victories by winning the Texas Democratic primary, which awards the third-largest batch of delegates in the country: 228. This was a state that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) hoped to win, thanks to anticipated support among Latino voters. Exit polls showed that 3 out of ten Texas Democratic voters identified themselves as Hispanic, and of those, Sanders got half. But Biden won strong support among African American voters and late deciders and consolidated support among moderate and somewhat liberal voters, according to the exit polls. He is likely to share evenly with Sanders or win a slight majority of the state's delegates.

Once a reliable Republican stronghold, the Lone Star State has changing demographics and an energized and growing Democratic electorate that flipped two congressional seats and 12 state House seats.

Additional delegates will be allocated as vote totals are finalized.
