About this race: North-east Houston. The incumbent voted for the medical expansion and against the hemp-THC ban at both stages.

Whose record this page shows. The paragraph above is about the race, and part of it describes a different person. Everything after this line on this page is Heidi Hall’s own record and nothing else — including, where it says so, the finding that no record was located. Every record the paragraph above describes is set out candidate by candidate on the Texas House, District 142 race page.

What was checked for Heidi Hall, and the limits on it

Checked on 2026-09-18: the member-level rolls of every 2025 cannabis and hemp record vote in the official Texas House and Senate Journals — SB 3 and HB 46 in the regular session, SB 5 in the first called session and SB 6 in the second — including every Yea, Nay, present-not-voting, absent and statement-of-vote list, where this name does not appear because they hold no Texas legislative office; the author, joint-author, coauthor and sponsor tables of every cannabis, hemp, THC and Compassionate Use bill filed in the 87th, 88th and 89th Legislatures and the 2025 called sessions, at the Legislature's own bill-lookup service; and a press sweep including the Spectrum News report on the March 2026 Austin candidate forum on THC policy, which quotes six candidates by name and does not include them.

It contains no occurrence of cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD, delta-8 or Compassionate Use. When we re-read their Ballotpedia profile on 2026-10-15, it recorded that they had not completed Ballotpedia’s 2026 Candidate Connection survey.

⚠️This card does not tell you whether this candidate held a seat in an earlier Legislature, but the question is now narrower. Read on 2026-10-15, from each chamber’s own journal: the roll of members-elect that the Texas House Journal prints, district by district, on the first day of every regular session from the 75th Legislature (1997) through the 89th (2025), and every senator the Texas Senate Journal names with a district on the first day of every regular session from the 76th (1999) through the 89th.

For the 89th those are journals.house.texas.gov/hjrnl/89r/pdf/89RDAY01FINAL.PDF and journals.senate.texas.gov/SJRNL/89R/HTML/89RSJ01-14-F.HTM and every journal read is listed on this site’s corrections page. No one by this candidate’s name appears in any of them. That is narrower than a negative answer. Those rolls name the members seated as each session opened, and in most years the Senate’s names the senators who were not up for election by surname alone, so a member who sat only in earlier sessions, who arrived at a special election and was never named in full on a later first day, or who served under another name would not be found this way.

If this candidate is one of those, there may be a cannabis voting record this site is missing.

Also checked, and read in full on 2026-10-05: this candidate’s Ballotpedia profile at ballotpedia.org/Heidi_Hall_(Texas), which contains no mention of cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD, delta-8 or Compassionate Use.

⚠️The account of a search that used to stand here has been withdrawn. It said which two queries had been put to a search engine and that every surviving result had been opened by hand. No record of any of that exists in this project, and when the same pair of queries was put to a candidate whose own campaign site this guide had already published a record from, nineteen results came back without that site among them; the queries, the results and the test are kept at pipeline/data/inbox/campaign-site-search-control-2026-10-12.json.

Nothing below came from that search. A campaign site of this candidate's own was found on 2026-10-06 and 7 page(s) of it were read, by following the citation that the independent candidate tracker Vote the Person publishes for them; it is listed below with what it does and does not contain.

A site at heidihall.com was found and rejected. It belongs to a different Heidi Hall: a member of the Nevada County Board of Supervisors, with a post-office box in Grass Valley, California, running in California’s 3rd congressional district. That site does discuss cannabis growers in her California county. None of it is attributed here, because it is not this candidate, and the only thing that caught it was checking the office and the address rather than the name.

This card has been corrected. What earlier versions of it said, and what was wrong with them, is published in the corrections log.

No score: this candidate has no recorded vote or bill authorship on a cannabis measure. Silence is not a position, so nothing is inferred from it.

Pages read in full:

  • www.houstonvotersguide.org/state-representative-rep/Heidi-Hall — sections on the page: Qualifications; the two most pressing issues facing the office, with the candidate's own plans for them — the whole of the two-question set the League of Women Voters of Houston chapter put to this race, read in full by us on 2026-10-06. The page heads itself "State Representative, District 142 - Republican Candidate", so the candidate and the district are both confirmed on it. Neither question asks about cannabis, hemp or drug policy. ⚠️The entry records "No response recieved" [sic] in place of answers, so this records an unanswered questionnaire, not a position. This address no longer works. The page was there when we read it and the guide has since taken it down, and we did not keep a copy — so this is a record of what we read and not something you can check for yourself, which is weaker than every other source cited on this card. We have left the finding here rather than delete it, and left the address so you can see exactly what we are relying on. We checked the address again on 2026-10-17: it still answers HTTP 404.
  • votetheperson.org/candidates/heidi-hall — sections on the page: Candidate; Your match; Record; Sources — the whole of the independent candidate tracker Vote the Person's page for this candidate, read in full by us on 2026-10-06. The page states the office or district we have on file, so the identification is confirmed, and it cites 5 source(s) of its own. Marijuana is one of the issues it tracks by name, and it lists Marijuana among the 40 issues on which it found no public position for this candidate. ⚠️That is a second organisation reporting an empty search, not a statement by the candidate.
  • www.heididhall.com their own site — sections on the page: 7 page(s) of this candidate's own campaign site, read in full by us on 2026-10-06 — reached from the home page's own links and from the site's sitemap where it publishes one, each fetched only after its host had been checked against robots.txt and found to permit it. The site is identified as theirs by the independent tracker Vote the Person, which names the office or district they seek and cites this domain among its sources. The site itself also names the district, which is what makes it attributable: a site that named only the name would not be published here. Not one of those pages contains, on a word boundary, cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, hemp-derived, THC, thc-a, CBD, delta-8, delta-9, cannabinoid, dispensary, decriminalisation, psilocybin, Compassionate Use, consumable hemp, SB 3, Senate Bill 3, HB 1325 or HB 46. This contradicts an earlier note on this card saying no campaign site of their own could be found: a site exists and was read. What it does not contain is any cannabis or hemp content.
  • www.branch.vote/races/2026-texas-general-election-tx-state-state-representative-tx-state-house-142/candidates/heidi-hall — sections on the page: an aggregator recording that as of 2026-07-22 no website or online information could be found, across seven policy areas

Community Impact's candidate Q&A for the November 2026 general election in Texas House District 142, published 2026-09-25. This candidate's answers are printed. The 5 questions put to every candidate were: “How will you ensure your constituents can access affordable housing?”; “What would your top priorities be if elected?”; “How do you plan to involve residents in the decision-making process?”; “What are your priorities for the future of Texas education?”; “How will you ensure your constituents receive the appropriate aid after natural disasters?”. None of the questions, and none of the answers printed on the page, contains cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD, delta-8 or Compassionate Use.
  • onyourballot.vote411.org/race-detail.do?id=71560900 — sections on the page: Read 2026-10-17, HTTP 200. The League of Women Voters' VOTE411 voter guide page for the November 2026 general election in Texas House District 142. It names this candidate, and unlike the League of Women Voters of Houston page above, whose address no longer works, it is a page a reader can open: that chapter says on the candidate information page of its own guide that the answers it collects are published on Vote411.org as well as in its own guide. This is the League's four-question set for the general election, not the two-question primary set described above. It asks every candidate in the race about their qualifications for the office; access to affordable healthcare, including mental health services, for residents who are uninsured or underserved; state funding for public schools and accountability for taxpayer funds used in voucher or education savings account programs; and the two most pressing issues unique to the district. None of the four questions mentions cannabis, hemp or drug policy. The candidate answered two of the four questions, on qualifications and on healthcare; against the other two the page prints that the candidate has not yet responded. No answer of theirs, nor anything else the page prints for them, contains, on a word boundary, cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, hemp-derived, THC, thc-a, CBD, delta-8, delta-9, cannabinoid, dispensary, decriminalisation, psilocybin, Compassionate Use, drug or drugs. The primary-season page above recorded no response from them. The page lists heididhall.com as their campaign website, which is the site already listed on this card as theirs, and not heidihall.com, which belongs to a different Heidi Hall in California.

Who is paying for this campaign

Campaign finance — Texas Ethics Commission

Texas Ethics Commission filer 90454, filed as “Hall, Heidi D.”, treasurer appointment for State Representative, District 142, dated 2025-12-08. The name on the filing is not word-for-word the name on the ballot — both are printed above so you can check the pairing yourself before you rely on it.

Why there are no figures and no industry breakdown here. Texas does not require a candidate to report a contributor’s employer or occupation — the Commission’s own 2026 guide asks for the amount, the contributor’s name and address, and the date, and that is all. So there is nothing in these filings to group into industries, and we have built no such grouping rather than imply one. Separately, the Commission’s bulk filing archive tells automated readers to stay out of it, and we honour that, so we have read no individual Texas contribution record. Treat the itemised question as unchecked by us, not as checked and found empty.

Read this filer’s own reports at the Texas Ethics Commission (ethics.state.tx.us) → — choose Transaction Type “Contributions”, then Search By “Filer ID” and enter 90454. The Commission’s search posts its results, so there is no direct link to one filer’s page; the number above is what makes it one step instead of a hunt.

Any grouping of contributors into an industry is weedvoter’s own classification, applied to employer and committee names exactly as filed. The Commission publishes employers and committees; it never publishes industries. OpenSecrets discontinued its public interface in April 2025, so nothing here is an OpenSecrets classification.

Money received is not a position. Everything on this card is money that changed hands. It is not evidence that any contribution influenced any decision, nothing on it is placed beside a roll call, and we make no claim about anyone’s motive. For what Heidi Hall has actually done about cannabis, read the record above on this page — the roll calls, the bills that carry their name, and the date of each one, every entry linked to the document it came from. That is the part of this page built to be judged, and it is the part the score is calculated from. No contribution on this card moves that score by a cent.
