44. No. The delegates assigned to TX are divided
into a large block that is allocated according to the primary vote (by state Senate district in the proportions that voted for Kerry in 2004 etc) and another smaller block that is assigned based on caucus attendance. The state gets the correct total number of delegates.

Now, an individual can be counted both at the voting booth and in the caucus. That's how the system works, and as long as it is available to all on a fair basis, I don't see a problem with it. it is certainly more representative than a caucus-only state.
