The reported visit comes just days after incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and local Republicans rallied supporters at Brewster Street Ice House in downtown Corpus Christi.
A recently released University of Houston poll shows Talarico leading Paxton 48% to 46% among likely voters, with just 3% undecided.
Early voting in Texas runs through Oct. 30, with Election Day set for Nov. 3.
