The Rio Grande Guardian reports that Tom Schieffer, a Democrat who has been running for Texas Governor, will have a press conference at 3PM at the State Capitol in Austin.

Sources state that Schieffer will drop out and possibly endorse Houston Mayor Bill White for Govenor, who up until now has been in a run for a possibly vacant U.S. Senate seat.

Given Kay Bailey Hutchison’s decision to not resign her Senate seat, there has been much speculation as to Mayor White’s plans if no Senate special election were to be held.

Recently, in Austin, Mayor White told DosCentavos.net that he would remain in the race; however, given events as reported by various sources, developments have definitely been day-to-day, and at least today, minute-to-minute.

DosCentavos.net has been following Tom Schieffer’s campaign.  Schieffer has campaigned on progressive issues, even taking a shot at the economic and aesthetic effects of the Border wall on South Texas and the Valley.  Schieffer had also earned the support of many Texas progressive and Valley House members.

Developments as we hear about them. Stay tuned!
