Independent Candidates must petition in the spring of election years to be included on the general election ballot.
The image above is of the header for the petition sheet.
Signatures must come from registered voters in the district.
Voters that participate in the primaries of the major parties in March are not eligible to sign the petition.
Signatures must be gathered in person.
500 valid signatures are required.
The petition document is of a specific format provided by the Texas Secretary of State and has room for 10 signatures.
The goal of the campaign is to have 800 signatures.
We get to 800 signatures by having 80 individuals willing to be petition leads and each of those people filling their sheet.
