Close, but IMHO, Obama's got Texas.
Obama's early lead was due to the early votes. Hillary started gaining because El Paso came in where she is favored. BUT Dallas, Houston, and Austin have not come in and Obama killed her in these cities re the early voting.

Far from done yet. And then, there's the caucuses.

3. I fear she will stubbornly continue...
But the chorus will grow louder for her to step down.

4. If she loses TX, she's done no matter what she does.
The Party will force her to drop out.

6. Hmmm...maybe my facts are wrong (CNN website) but
El Paso is the only sizeable city where Hillary is favored. None of the others have come in and in size, they dwarf El Paso.

8. If CNN exit polls are to be believed...
Rhode Island -

Male (43%) - 56% Obama, 43% Clinton
Female (57%) - 58% Clinton, 41% Obama

Ohio -

Male (41%) - 52% Obama, 47% Clinton
Female (59%) - 54% Clinton, 45% Obama

Texas -

Male (43%) - 52% Obama, 46% Clinton
Female (57%) - 53% Clinton, 46% Obama

----------------------
Crunching the numbers ...
If the above exit poll numbers hold ...
Clinton wins RI with 53%
Clinton wins Ohio with 52%
Clinton wins Texas with 52%

15. Exit polls don't include Early Voting. Nearly 1/3 of the vote was Early.

16. I noticed that too
According to the demographics of the voters, Obama never had a chance. Makes no sense to me.

14. I think they're going to tie up the TX caucuses
in legal battles to keep the delegates from being added. I really hate them.
