I checked Harris County, which used a 3rd ordering, and these do match the SoS results. The rest of the county results look pretty reasonable, with Nader and Baldwin receiving the most votes in most counties, with Nader doing better in urban counties, and Baldwin better in suburban or areas outside the larger metropolitan areas. Keyes and McKinney got their votes mostly in Republican and Democratic areas, respectively. Hill did have some good results in the counties around where he lives (and where there were newspaper articles about the local man running for President), with about 1/3 of his statewide total from Washington, Fayette, Austin, and Colorado counties. A curiosity is that Travis County reported cumulative votes for uncertified write-ins. There were 2174 vs. 1786 for the 7 declared candidates.

The write-in totals in Travis County are not right as reported on the Texas SOS site.
