Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has agreed to suspend the statutory requirement that ballot-qualified minor parties hold in-person conventions on April 18. This means that the Green Party of Texas and Libertarian Party of Texas are free to reschedule their conventions and/or hold them online, if they wish.
