Texas House: recorded Nay on Record Vote 1759, adoption of the conference committee report on HB 2593, the final vote sending the tetrahydrocannabinol penalty bill to the Governor, which carried 95 Yeas to 44 Nays.

WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but deliberately left out of the score: A Nay on concurring in the Senate’s changes to the bill. Refusing the Senate version and opposing the bill point opposite ways, and the record does not say which this was. Shown, not scored.

Texas House: recorded Yea on Record Vote 143, passage to engrossment of CSHB 1805, widening the medical conditions qualifying for low-THC cannabis, which carried 121 Yeas to 23 Nays.

⚠️Which of the two members named Harris this is cannot be shown from a source we are permitted to read. The journal separates them only by a middle initial, as Harris, C.E. and Harris, C.J.; we used to expand those initials from the Legislative Reference Library, which asks automated tools not to read it, and that expansion is withdrawn. It makes no difference to this record: on this roll the journal places Harris, C.E. and Harris, C.J. in the same list, so this is the vote either member cast.

Texas House: recorded Yea on Record Vote 203, third-reading passage of HB 513, increasing the penalty for manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance or marihuana causing death or serious bodily injury. The bill passed, 140 Yeas to 2 Nays. The bill is captioned "Relating to the manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance or marihuana causing death or serious bodily injury; creating a criminal offense; increasing a criminal penalty."

The journal prints two members of this surname, "Harris, C.E." and "Harris, C.J.", and both are in the Yea list, so this member's vote is determined whichever of the two entries is theirs; this site does not claim to know which initial is which. The bare surname is resolved by seat: this member sits for House District 8, and Texas Legislature Online's member page for the 88th Legislature names that district's representative as Cody Harris.

WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but deliberately left out of the score: House Bill 513 is on this site's unscored list: Increases the penalty for manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance causing death or serious bodily injury. That is an overdose-death measure, not a question about lawful cannabis access, and scoring it either way would misrepresent the vote. The act is recorded without moving the score.

Texas House: recorded Yea on Record Vote 446, third-reading passage of HB 114, on the possession, use, or delivery of marihuana or e-cigarettes on or near public school property or at certain school events. The measure carried, 145 Yeas to 2 Nays. The bill is captioned "Relating to the possession, use, or delivery of marihuana or e-cigarettes on or near public school property or at certain school events." The journal prints this member in the Yea list as "Harris, C.J."; the printed form is matched to this member against the whole membership of the 88th House, who sat for House District 8.

WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but deliberately left out of the score: House Bill 114 is on this site’s unscored list: a school-discipline measure, not a cannabis-access measure. Its effect on cannabis is which school-discipline placement a student caught with marihuana receives — it moves marihuana into its own paragraph of Education Code Section 37.006(a)(2), out of the mandatory-expulsion trigger in Section 37.007(a)(3) and into the at-capacity in-school-suspension provision of Section 37.009(a-1) — and it does not change who may possess, buy, grow, prescribe or be prosecuted for cannabis.

The change the bill was carried for was adding e-cigarettes. Both of its record votes were near-unanimous and neither separates the candidates on this site: every one of the 97 who appear in the passage roll is in the Yeas. The act is recorded without moving the score.

Texas House: recorded Yea on Record Vote 812, third-reading passage of HB 2818, on hemp production and research permits. The bill passed, 126 Yeas to 17 Nays. The bill is captioned "Relating to the production and regulation of hemp; providing an administrative penalty; requiring a permit to conduct certain research involving hemp; authorizing a fee; creating a criminal offense." The journal prints two members of this surname, "Harris, C.E." and "Harris, C.J.", and both are in the Yea list, so this member's vote is determined whichever of the two entries is theirs; this site does not claim to know which initial is which.

WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but deliberately left out of the score: House Bill 2818 is on this site's unscored list: Hemp production and research permits. An agricultural measure whose direction on consumer access is not clear from the bill. The act is recorded without moving the score.

Texas House: recorded Nay on Record Vote 1476, the motion to reconsider the vote by which HB 4918, on hemp products for smoking, had failed to pass earlier that evening. The motion prevailed, 97 Yeas to 31 Nays. The bill is captioned "Relating to the processing, manufacture, and sale of hemp products for smoking." The journal prints two members of this surname, "Harris, C.E." and "Harris, C.J.", and both are in the Nay list, so this member's vote is determined whichever of the two entries is theirs; this site does not claim to know which initial is which.

WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but deliberately left out of the score: ⚠️A procedural motion, not a position on the bill, so it is shown and not counted. This roll call is the motion to reconsider the vote by which House Bill 4918 had failed earlier the same evening; the motion prevailed 97 to 31 and the bill then passed on Record Vote 1477. A member may be willing to take a question again without that telling you what they think the answer is, which is why motions of this kind never move the score.

Texas House: recorded Nay on Record Vote 1477, third reading of HB 4918, on the processing, manufacture and sale of hemp products for smoking, on the reconsidered vote, which passed 84-59.

Texas House: recorded Present, not voting while presiding over the House on Record Vote 2514, passage to engrossment of CSHB 4879, funding local law enforcement to test substances suspected of containing delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, which carried 121 Yeas to 15 Nays. The record reads “Present, not voting — Mr. Speaker; Harris(C).”, and the journal prints “(Harris in the chair)” immediately before this record. The two members surnamed Harris in the 89th Legislature are printed differently and need no initials: that Legislature's roll of members-elect reads “District 8 Cody Harris” for this member and “District 52 Caroline Harris Davila” for the other, and both forms appear in the 89th's roll calls.

Texas House: recorded Yea on Record Vote 2495, passage of SB 1833, as amended, to third reading, on the use of a social media platform in furtherance of a controlled-substance delivery offence. The measure carried, 135 Yeas to 2 Nays. The bill is captioned "Relating to the use of a social media platform in furtherance of an offense involving the delivery of a controlled substance; increasing criminal penalties." The journal prints this member in the Yea list as "Harris"; the printed form is matched to this member against the whole membership of the 89th House, who sat for House District 8.

WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but deliberately left out of the score: Senate Bill 1833 is on this site’s unscored list: it raises the penalty for delivering any controlled substance when a social media platform is used to arrange the delivery, and the floor remarks describe it wholly as a response to counterfeit fentanyl pills sold to schoolchildren. The only cannabis-specific change the House made to it, Amendment No. 1, adopted immediately before Record Vote 2495, exempts delivery of four ounces of marihuana or less from the enhancement.

Its direction on cannabis access is therefore arguable, and the vote is recorded without moving the score.

Recorded Yea on Record Vote 3192, passage to third reading of CSSB 3, the intoxicating-hemp-THC ban, which carried 95 Yeas to 44 Nays.

journals.house.texas.gov

Texas House: recorded Yea on Record Vote 3188, adoption of Amendment No. 1 to CSSB 3, the consumable-hemp bill, offered by its House sponsor, deferring the licensing requirements the bill adds until January 1, 2027, which carried 136 Yeas to 0 Nays.

WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but deliberately left out of the score: A floor amendment does not take the direction of the bill it amends. Amendment No. 1 to SB 3 rewrote the possession offence downward while the bill itself restricted consumable hemp, so a Yea on the amendment and a Yea on the bill point opposite ways.
