They will be considering changes to a unique process rattled by a record turnout.
Many newcomers were shocked by what they thought was a broken system, but political veterans in other states say caucuses can be ugly no matter how well organized, the Dallas Morning news said.
"This was a learning experience for us, too," Hector Nieto, spokesman for the Texas Democratic Party, told the newspaper. "We took all the precautions we could physically take. We're going to analyze what worked and what didn't work, and then we'll be able to adjust for the next time."
Apparently, a lot of Democrats were wondering if there is a next time, the Morning News said.
Attendees at any of the next steps of the process may vote to change the rules or scrap caucuses completely. Caucuses determine a fraction of the delegates sent to the national convention, but a primary elects the majority.
And at least two Democratic legislators, both supporters of Hillary Clinton, a critic of the Texas process, are considering bills to do away with the system altogether, the report said.
