For those wondering, the Texas primary elections are important because this decides who the candidates will be when the general election comes up on November 6th.
As for the country as a whole, the entire U.S. House of Representatives and a third of the U.S. Senate is up for election.
If you voted in the Texas primaries you were handed one ballot with the list of candidates for the party of your choosing.
"Once you assign yourself to a party, you are bound to that party until after the runoff elections," said Roberto Garza, political science professor at Angelo State University.
On that ballot you either saw 11 proposition if you voted on the republican ticket, or 12 propositions if you voted on the democratic ticket.
Garza says those proposition you voted on are non-binding and they don't automatically become laws.
"This is like opinion poll results, in other words both parties will be able to determine how much support there are for certain issues, for example education, immigration, affordable care act and abortion,” said Garza.
Those propositions will serve as guidance for both parties when they each meet at their state convention that is to be held in June.
"It tells what should be the parties platform and what issues should the party stand for," said Garza.
He says however in Texas, the primaries say a lot about what the results for the general election will look like in our state.
"The primary elections basically are really the main election in many of the electoral contest simply because the republican candidate won’t have a viable democratic challenger," said Garza.
Texas primaries have been a big topic of conversation on a national level due to the bipartisan sentiment from both sides.
"Texas is of course a republican dominant state and there's an interest in whether this one, or other states that are republican dominant, might become blue states,” said Garza.
The whole nation is looking ahead to the November elections to see what our president will be working with in the future.
"The general elections on November 18 are going to foretell the support that the Republican Party will have 2 years down the road,” said Garza.
