In Texas, a recent meeting led to a decision on the presidential nomination calendar. The new lineup gives certain groups an early voice in the process. Key supporters, including union members and voters from specific ethnic backgrounds, will play a significant role.

The calendar sets the stage for several states to vote in February. Details about the plan are available from the Democratic National Committee, which endorsed it. Further information can be found through the committee or other sources, such as NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth.
