Polls in Texas are about to close, but we got some vote totals earlier because Texas is one of those states that allow "early voting." (The process is exactly as it sounds: voters are permitted to cast ballots ahead of the statewide primary election).
About 97,000 early votes have been counted in Travis County, which includes the state capital of Austin and the mammoth University of Texas campus. This was supposed to be an Obama stronghold, and he's beating Clinton there by 65 percent to 34 percent.
A different story in Bexar County, which includes San Antonio and is majority-Hispanic. More than 100,000 early votes have been counted and Clinton is leading Obama 54 percent to 45 percent. (According to exit polls, Clinton led Obama by about 30 percentage points among Hispanic voters.)
