Dan Patrick was Texas Chair of our Presidential Campaigns in 2016, 2020, and 2024.
Evidence and Verdict
For
NPR reported that "Patrick did chair Trump's campaign here in 2016 and in 2020." A USA Today article from February 2020 quotes Dan Patrick as saying he is "chair of the Texas Trump Campaign," supporting his role for the 2020 effort.
Against
None of the provided sources state that Dan Patrick served as Texas chair for the 2024 presidential campaign; the NPR piece explicitly references only 2016 and 2020. Other listed articles discuss Patrick's support for Trump or election-related actions but do not provide evidence he was Texas campaign chair in 2024.
Verdict
Available sources verify Dan Patrick chaired Trump's Texas campaign in 2016 and 2020 but contain no evidence that he was Texas chair for the 2024 campaign, so the overall claim is partially true and partially unverified.
