Mark Teixeira Republican

US House, District 21

About this race: A US House seat on the 120th Congress map, covering all of Bandera, Blanco, Comal, Gillespie, Kendall, Kerr and Real counties, most of Hays County and part of north Bexar County. No cannabis or hemp record was found for any candidate on this ballot, in Congress or in the Texas Legislature. Each was checked against the sources listed on their pages.

Which map this is. This seat is drawn on the 120th Congress map, the one on the 3 November ballot. Measured by area — not by population — 98% of it was inside district 21 on the 119th Congress map, which stands until the end of 2026; the rest came from district 35 (1.1%) and district 20 (0.5%). These lines barely moved, so the member who holds seat 21 today was elected over almost exactly this ground. Check your own address in the district finder.

What was checked for Mark Teixeira, and the limits on it

Checked on 2026-09-18: his campaign site teixeiraforcongress.com and its issues page, which contain no mention of cannabis, marijuana, THC or hemp; his San Antonio Report candidate questionnaire, read in full, which asks no drug-policy question and whose answers raise none; KUT and San Antonio Report primary coverage; CBS Texas and WFAA campaign coverage; the Spectrum News report on the March 2026 Austin candidate forum on THC policy, which quotes six candidates and does not include them; and NORML's Texas guide, which covers sitting legislators only and has no entry for them.

He has held no Texas legislative office, so there is no roll call to search.

Also checked, and read in full on 2026-09-18: this candidate's Ballotpedia profile at ballotpedia.org/Mark_Teixeira, including any Candidate Connection survey answers published there, which contains no mention of cannabis, marijuana, hemp, THC or CBD.

The candidate's own campaign site was read on 2026-09-20 at teixeiraforcongress.com — found by search and confirmed to name this candidate before it was attributed to them. 2 pages were read: the homepage, any JavaScript bundle it loads, and the pages linked from it. None contains cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD or Compassionate Use.

⚠️This covers the reachable site, not necessarily the whole site: a page that nothing links to cannot be found this way, and at least one Texas candidate keeps their platform on exactly such a page.

Their Ballotpedia profile was read in full on 2026-09-20 at ballotpedia.org/Mark_Teixeira (15454 characters). 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.

This card has been corrected. What an earlier version of it said, and what was wrong with it, 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.

Who is paying for this campaign

Campaign finance — Federal Election Commission

Commission candidate H6TX21301, filed as “TEIXEIRA, MARK CHARLES”, principal committee C00917658 (MARK TEIXEIRA FOR CONGRESS). fec.gov

Everything below covers the reporting period that ended 2026-06-30, as filed with the Commission. These figures lag the filing deadlines: money raised after that date does not appear until the next report is due, so a recent contribution is not missing, it is not yet reportable.

What we could and could not put a label on

Fraction classified: 0%. We examined $3,859,853 — the 93 largest employer groupings ($480,310) and 50 committee contributions ($3,379,543) the Commission shows for this committee — and matched $0 of it to one of our own patterns. $3,859,853 is listed above as unclassified.

What that figure is not. $3,859,853 is what we examined, not everything this campaign raised: the Commission returns the largest employer groupings rather than every contribution, and contributions too small to be itemised carry no employer at all. Read the classified fraction as a share of what we looked at.

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 Mark Teixeira 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.
