Another question about TDP rules

[crispini]

So. I have been spending some quality time lately with the TDP rulebook. :eyes: And I noticed this weird (to me) little passage:

Article III.
F. District Executive Committee
1. Members.

Each senatorial district shall have a Senatorial District Executive Committee, sometimes referred to as the “District Committee,” to be formed as follows: (a) In a senatorial district composed of only a part of one county, the Precinct Chairs within the district shall constitute the District Committee. No later than the statutory meeting of the County Executive Committee in January, such Precinct Chairs shall
elect one of their number to serve as Chair of their District Committee. (Texas Election Code §171.053)

(snip)
3. Duties.

District Committees shall have those responsibilities assigned by Texas statutes, such as filling certain vacancies in nominations for District officials. (Texas Election Code Chapter 145) They also shall be responsible for any duties in connection with Party activities which may be assigned by the SDEC. They may and should, on their own initiative, undertake such efforts on behalf of the Party and its candidates which are appropriate on the district level.

Now. This seems weird to me. Does anyone else have an active "District Committee" in their area? Because we sure don't. This is the first I've ever heard of it. We almost never have activities around the SD, except conventions. The county party here is organized with an Advisory Committee and looks at things from a State House perspective (much smaller districts, and so, easier to handle). Thoughts?

1. They are pulling a lot of old shit from the 1930's to try and maintain control of the TDP.
