Edit: (Rockwall county)
The precinct convention I attended tonight had about 15 people turn out. I got there a little early with my parents and there was a guy there already who was also a Ron Paul supporter (we found out because he wanted to see the resolutions we brought).
He ended up being the chairman and my mom (I'm only 20, I figured older people would be better in the leadership roles) was the secretary. The chairman decided, to figure out who Ron Paul supporters were, I guess, to vote on resolutions before delegates.
We passed a good amount of resolutions, opposing the REAL ID act, PATRIOT act, TTC, eminent domain for toll roads, resolution for D.C. v. Heller. It was great!
My girlfriend was in a car wreck right before the delegates were going to be chosen, so I didn't get to see exactly what happened, but I do know that I'm a delegate, my mom is a delegate, and surely the chairman was a delegate. And seeing has how my precinct has 51(!) delegates, we should have a good Ron Paul turnout at the county convention just from my precinct alone!
The girl in the wreck also went to her convention (Dallas county) and she said most of the people there were RP supporters. They didn't bring as many resolutions as my precinct, but RP got delegates from her precinct, as well (she's one too)!
(I could be wrong on the 51 delegates for the county convention, but my mom dug up stuff that said our precinct was at the top of the list (I couldn't find that same thing).)
