Texas has 35 super delegates and Hillary Clinton leads with the support of 10 so far while three are supporting Barack Obama.  The remainder are unpledged, and those committed can still change their minds.  "They can move around, which makes it harder to track,"  state Democratic party spokesman Ken Bailey told dallasblog.

The supers include the 13 Texas Democrats in Congress, former House Speaker Jim Wright, former Democratic National Chairman Bob Strauss, plus 10 Texas members of the DNC, party chair Boyd Richie and vice chair Roy LaVerne Brooks.  Other supers are labor leaders Linda Chavez-Thompson (AFL-CIO) and Robert Martinez of Dallas (Machinists), black and Hispanic leaders Denise Johnson and Moses Mercado, and Young Democrats leader David Hardt.  Three more will be added at the Texas Democratic Convention June 7.  Read more to see where members are Congress and others are lining up.

Obama has the support of Reps. Eddie Bernice Johnson of Dallas and Al Green, plus Mercado.

Clinton has the support of Reps. Ruben Hinojosa, Silvestre Reyes, Sheila Jackson Lee, Henry Cuellar, Gene Green, Solomon Ortiz.  She also has the backing of former speaker Wright, Denise Johnson, and DNC members Sue Lovell and Senfronia Thompson.

Unpledged so far are Reps. Charlie Gonzalez, Chet Edwards, Nick Lampson, Ciro Rodriguez and Lloyd Doggett.

The pledged/unpledged list was provided to dallasblog by the Texas Democratic Party.
