I'm going to assume, looking at that Texas county map, that Hispanics are more conservative in Dallas and Houston than in southern Texas?

No, Southern Texas is like 90% Hispanic while the metro areas are much smaller.

Democrats have done a great job over the past couple years in voter registration in the 6 largest counties (Bexar, Dallas, El Paso, Harris, Tarrant and Travis). Registered voters are now up 8% in these counties.

Obviously this won't be enough for Davis, but if they can keep this pace it could make things competitive in 10-20 years.
