So far, Ron Paul has made major campaign appearances at Texas A&M University in College Station, the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, and the Main Plaza in San Antonio.

"Ron Paul is the only Texan, the only veteran, and the only real conservative competing in Texas. We expect Dr. Paul's fellow Texans to be receptive to his platform of constitutionally-limited government, the restoration of our economic and civil liberties, and a reversal of Washington spending and intrusion into the economy," said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.
