Texas primary clock ticks as filing nears March vote
Monday marked the candidate filing deadline for the March 8 primaries. Gov. Ann Richards and George W. Bush are expected to win with little opposition, while Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison faces minor GOP challenges. Several Republicans and Democrats contest various statewide posts, with unopposed races and late filings shaping the ballot. A school tax survey shows near stable rates despite higher payments, and a voucher pilot program launches in Houston and San Antonio for low income students seeking private school scholarships.
