In the 14 states that held primary elections on Super Tuesday, Texas’ delegate count is second only behind California, which pledges 415 delegates in the primary election.

The party said Biden — who won 34% of Texas primary votes — was expected to get 69 delegates from the district pool and 42 from the statewide trove of delegates. Sanders, with 30% of the total vote, would likely earn 65 delegates through Senate districts and bring in 37 statewide delegates. No other candidate hit the 15% count in Texas' statewide tally — Bloomberg came in at 14.5% of the state vote. His delegates and Warren's were awarded from the district pool.

Nationwide, a Democratic presidential candidate needs at least 1,991 pledged delegates to win the party nomination for president on the first ballot at the Democratic National Convention in July. If there is no clear winner from the pledged delegates, 771 unpledged delegates, formerly known as superdelegates, can then cast ballots for any candidate until one candidate receives more than 2,375 total delegate votes. Texas has 33 unpledged delegates — made up of 13 Democratic members of Congress and 20 Democratic National Committee members.
