Are Iowa precinct caucus delegates bound to vote for national delegates who support the candidate who got the most votes in that particular precinct?
It is different between Democratic and Republican sides, but the precinct delegates are bound for the first "ballot" (actually a second caucus), and then free to do what they want in the second. That being said delegates usually have views that agree with those of the candidate they support and it is unlikely that large shifts would occur.

How is a caucus different than a primary?
In a caucus the party members gather together for face-to-face meetings in each precinct. Different caucuses operate differently. For example, Republicans at each of the 1,784 precincts of the Iowa caucus meet up, and after discussion, place their vote into a hat by secret ballot. The Iowa Democrats have a much more interesting process. At each precinct the voters gather into "preference groups" and then try to convince others to join their group. Groups that don't pass a "viability threshold" of usually between 15% and 25% must disband and the individuals must join one of the remaining groups. At the end the delegates are apportioned according to the size of each preference group. All states (and before that, colonies) used to vote by caucus. However in many places the caucuses turned too corrupt, and were then replaced by other systems. The more common system today is the primary, where people walk into an election booth and cast a vote.
How many delegates to the conventions does Texas have?

Who can vote in the Texas caucus?
Anyone who votes in the 2008 Texas primary. Either on the day of the caucus - March 4 OR "early vote" OR absentee. You can merely sign that you did vote - as this acts as an affidavit (oath) to grant you the legal right to caucus. It may be helpful but not required to have your voter registration card stamped, or your voting receipt handy in case of attempted hanky-panky. Each caucus location has a packet that defines the rules. If in doubt about anything, ask to see the rule from the packet. And, take names and pictures if things seem fishy. You don't have to be on time either, but they will not wait for you, and they can't go back.
