One Democrat, One Republican, and Two "Other" Republican's

According to Quorum Report Kinky and Strayhorn are on the ballot. Here is the story:
WILLIAMS CERTIFIES STRAYHORN AND FRIEDMAN TO BE ON BALLOT Full text of press release below Secretary of State Roger Williams today notified candidates and minor parties who filed for a place on the general election ballot if they met the statutorily prescribed qualifications. By state law, candidates were required to submit an application for a place on the ballot accompanied by petitions with the required number of signatures. "Texas has a process for verifying the eligibility of independent candidates for a place on the ballot and today we have finished that process," Williams said. "Our method of verifying every signature is the most accurate, has been upheld by the courts and was done faster than in years past."

Williams notified the campaigns of Richard Kinky Friedman and Carole Keeton Strayhorn today that they had met the requirements for a place on the ballot in the upcoming gubernatorial election. Both Candidates exceeded the 45,540 signatures required by state law. After a preliminary review of the 170,258 petitions submitted by Mr. Friedman, Secretary Williams' office has certified that 137,154 met the requirements. Similarly, Secretary Williams certified that 108,512 of the 222,514 signatures submitted by Ms. Strayhorn were valid signatures that met all statutory requirements.

Don't bother voting for Kinky. It's a wasted vote. His most fervent supporters are "stick-it-to-the-establishment" students, and they always end up sticking to the establishment by not voting at all.
