If Texas did not cast its electoral votes, the President still would be elected in the electoral college if a candidate received 270 electoral votes. If no candidate receives at least the required majority of 270 electoral votes, the Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution provides that the U.S. House of Representatives will select the president, with each of the fifty state delegations casting one vote, and the U.S. Senate will select the vice-president.
