*This story has been updated throughout.

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, will endorse former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the presidency.

Doggett confirmed his plans on Sunday; he is expected to appear with former President Bill Clinton at a Monday campaign event at the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center Theater in San Antonio,
located in the congressman's 35th District.

Doggett is a superdelegate; as a Democratic member of Congress, he is also an unpledged delegate to the Democratic national convention and can offer his support to the candidate he chooses — regardless of who Texas voters support. In 2008, Doggett remained neutral during the divisive delegate fight between Clinton and then-U.S. Sen. Barack Obama. His endorsement means that every member of the Democratic federal delegation except U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-El Paso, is publicly behind Clinton.

Clinton dominates the superdelegate race in Texas and the rest of the country. ..........................

former Texas Supreme Court justice who wrote numerous eloquent dissents as Texas became more conservative in the 1990s. High profile for a Texas Democrat -there aren't many
