"We are going to win," a confident Cruz declared in a rally in Pearland.
Cruz planned four events in Houston suburbs Monday, finishing with a rally at Redneck Country Club in Stafford.
The senator, who voted early, has no other public events scheduled until his "victory" party at the Post Oak Hilton in Houston Tuesday night.

O'Rourke hit on his key campaign promises of healthcare and immigration reform while speaking to supporters in a packed hotel ballroom. He told reporters he is feeling optimistic about Election Day.
