AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Presidential Electors met today to cast their Electoral College votes for the 2012 election of President and Vice President of the United States. All of Texas’ 38 Electoral Votes were cast for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan.
“Today’s meeting fulfills Texas’ role in the Electoral College process and officially brings the 2012 election to a close,” said Secretary Steen. “I want to thank the nearly eight million voters who made their mark on Texas by participating in this year’s November General Election and the thousands of election workers who work hard all year long to conduct elections that are fair, accessible and secure for our great state.”
The set of elector candidates that is elected is the one that corresponds to the candidates for president and vice-president receiving the most votes (Texas Election Code, Sect. 192.005). Political parties choose their respective sets of electors in accordance with state law and each party’s rules.
Electoral Votes are allocated to states based on the most recent census. Only California has more Electoral Votes, at 55, than Texas.

Why Taxes? Why Now? "We opened up shop here in the Wylie, Sachse, Murphy area in 2018 with a passion to help start-ups and small businesses get on top of their bookkeeping,” Allen explains. “What we found was a lot of folks just don’t get the tax game. And now that there are new laws and regulations, many are starting to panic; but trust me, small businesses have everything to gain with the new Section 179 Deductions. “After filing a few late returns, in that first year, we learned that there is a real need for some tax expertise. We spent a good part of 2018 getting up to speed on tax law, and now I am an Enrolled Agent, federally licensed to practice before the IRS on behalf of my clients and anyone else who may be facing the daunting ‘IRS boogie man.’ “During tax season, we are prepared to handle it all. For individuals we have helped folks with past-due tax returns and work with the IRS to eliminate all penalties... sometimes we given get rid of the tax debt itself. For companies the biggest problem businesses of all sizes have is filing and paying their payroll taxes - both state and federal - on time. The rules for 940s and 941s are extremely confusing so we have helped a lot of companies catch up. If they like our work, they sometimes retain us for bookkeeping and payroll.
