Texas Democrats spent much of their final 2022 convention day electing a chairman, but they failed to adopt a party platform, prompting criticism from both sides of the political aisle.

The Democrats, who broadcasted the convention on their website, adjourned in the afternoon of July 16 when it became clear that a quorum couldn’t be reached after many people left following the vote for chairman.
