Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican nominee for Senate in the state, announced last week that Dallas would be the venue, but his claim was not immediately corroborated, and the date range was not provided at the time.
The two-day convention — on a Tuesday and Wednesday — is shorter than conventions in presidential election years, which typically last for four days with a full week of associated events.
Texas is expected to give Republicans a windfall of new House seats thanks to an aggressive redistricting plan this week, but Paxton faces a stiff challenge from Democrat James Talarico.
