The 2012 United States presidential election in Texas took place on November 6, 2012 as part of the 2012 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participated. Texas voters chose 38 electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama and his running mate, Vice President Joe Biden, against Republican challenger and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and his running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan.
Mitt Romney won the state of Texas with 57.17%, over Barack Obama's 41.38%, a margin of 15.78%. As in past elections, President Obama and the Democrats dominated the Rio Grande Valley and won the major metropolitan areas of Austin, El Paso, Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston, but Republicans were able to overwhelm the urban vote by sweeping the vast rural areas and suburbs of Texas by large margins.

The Republican primary was held May 29, 2012.[3][4]
152 delegates were chosen, for a total of 155 delegates to go to the national convention.
The election was originally scheduled to take place on Super Tuesday, March 6.[5] Due to litigation over the state's redistricting following the 2010 United States Census, it was rescheduled for April 3.[6][7] That date also became uncertain and the primary was expected to be held, at the earliest, in late May 2012, with both May 22[5] and May 29[8] being proposed. U.S. District Court judge Xavier Rodriguez, one of the three judges overseeing the litigation, had suggested a June 26 date for the election.[5] Finally, on March 1, 2012, the court issued an order setting the date of the primary to May 29, 2012.[3]
