Depending on the type of system, various outcomes occur. Some systems have the person with the most votes win regardless if it is not over 50% of the vote. Some systems go to a run-off election. Other systems go to a different type of election or judges to determine the result.
These are called primaries or primary elections. Not all states have them.

In order to obtain a primary nomination in Texas, a candidate must receive a majority of the popular vote, which is defined as more than 50% of the total votes cast. If no candidate receives a majority, a runoff election is held between the top two candidates.
The answer depends on the party and the state. Some states have a non-binding primary, some states apportion their delegation according to the primary percentages and some states give all of their votes to the candidate who wins a plurality in the primary. Some parties have some "super delegates" who decide for themselves how to vote.
