No, I mean what % of the electorate did you think was Hispanic in Harris County, for example?

Census  says  they are 41.4% of the Population

I had them around 32%. of the electorate.

Does anyone else want to take a crack at Harris County TX?

2010 Census results.

Black                                        19.3%
Asian/mixed race/all others      6.6%
Hispanic or Latino                    41.4%
White Non-Hispanic                 32.7%

I would ballpark Harris County whites as 65% Romney, 35% Obama. A lot of the county's population is suburban, even the parts technically within Houston city limits. Also the epicenter of the oil & gas industry.

Dallas County, 60% Romney, 40% Obama. A lot less conservative than it was 20 years ago. The minority population is growing and the Republican vote is seeping out into the collar counties.

Bexar County, 70% Romney, 30% Obama. If you think this sounds high, keep in mind that (1) this is an ancestrally Republican area as far as white voters (as are the counties immediately north of it). (2) There is a very strong military presence of both active and retired members due to Fort Sam Houston and Lackland Air Force Base.
