The crowd at Sam Houston Race Park cheered as speakers called for them to take control of the U.S. government and defend the Constitution.
Laureen Jones and Joan Orozco of The Woodlands told the Houston Chronicle that they were on hand to protest government spending and government-run health care.
Race park officials said preliminary attendance numbers, putting the crowd at more than 10,000, were based on turnstiles.
