Yvonne Davis Democrat

Texas House: recorded Yea on Record Vote 1182, passage of SB 339 to third reading, the bill creating the Texas Compassionate-Use Program for low-THC cannabis, which carried 96 Yeas to 34 Nays.

journals.house.texas.gov, capitol.texas.gov

Texas House: recorded Nay on Record Vote 1180, the motion to table Amendment No. 1 by Representative Moody to SB 339, an amendment that would have changed the bill from a physician prescribing low-THC cannabis to a physician recommending it and added definitions of an adequate supply and of a caregiver. The motion to table prevailed, 99 Yeas to 32 Nays. The bill is captioned "relating to the medical use of low-THC cannabis and the regulation of related organizations and individuals; requiring a dispensing organization to obtain a license to dispense low-THC cannabis and any employee of a dispensing organization to obtain a registration; authorizing fees."

The journal prints this member in the Nay list as "Davis, Y ."; the printed form is matched to this member against the whole membership of the 84th House, who sat for House District 111.

WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but deliberately left out of the score: This is a vote on a motion to table a floor amendment to Senate Bill 339, not a vote on the bill itself. A floor amendment, and a motion to table one, does not take the direction of the bill it is offered to, and this site does not assert a direction for it. The record is shown because the journal names the member, and it is kept out of the score.

Texas House: recorded Yea on Record Vote 1181, the motion to table Amendment No. 2 by Representative Moody to SB 339, an amendment that would have added a physician recommendation alongside a prescription throughout the bill.

The bill is captioned "relating to the medical use of low-THC cannabis and the regulation of related organizations and individuals; requiring a dispensing organization to obtain a license to dispense low-THC cannabis and any employee of a dispensing organization to obtain a registration; authorizing fees."

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 this member in the Yea list as "Davis", the only entry in the roll bearing the surname. The bare surname is resolved by seat: this member sits for House District 111, and Texas Legislature Online's member page for the 88th Legislature names that district's representative as Yvonne Davis.

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.

journals.house.texas.gov, capitol.texas.gov

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 "Davis"; the printed form is matched to this member against the whole membership of the 88th House, who sat for House District 111.

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 this member in the Yea list as "Davis", the only entry in the roll bearing the surname.

The bare surname is resolved by seat: this member sits for House District 111, and Texas Legislature Online's member page for the 88th Legislature names that district's representative as Yvonne Davis.

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 Yea on Record Vote 1421, third reading of HB 4918, on the processing, manufacture and sale of hemp products for smoking, which failed to pass 69-75 and was reconsidered later the same evening. The bill failed to pass, 69 Yeas to 75 Nays. The bill is captioned "Relating to the processing, manufacture, and sale of hemp products for smoking." The journal prints this member in the Yea list as "Davis", the only entry in the roll bearing the surname.

The bare surname is resolved by seat: this member sits for House District 111, and Texas Legislature Online's member page for the 88th Legislature names that district's representative as Yvonne Davis.

WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but deliberately left out of the score: ⚠️This vote was annulled by the House itself, so it is shown and not counted. House Bill 4918 failed on this roll call, and the House then agreed to reconsider it later the same evening, after which the bill passed on Record Vote 1477. Only that final roll call moves the score. A member appearing both here and on Record Vote 1477 has not been recorded twice over: the House put the same question twice, and the second answer is the one that stood.

journals.house.texas.gov, capitol.texas.gov

Texas House: recorded Yea 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 this member in the Yea list as "Davis", the only entry in the roll bearing the surname.

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.

The measure carried, 136 Yeas to 6 Nays.

Voted Aye in the House Committee on State Affairs to report SB 3, the intoxicating-hemp-THC ban, as substituted, favorably to the full house with the recommendation that it do pass and be printed.

capitol.texas.gov

Voted Aye in the House Committee on State Affairs to report SB 3, the intoxicating-hemp-THC ban, as substituted, favorably to the full house, on the motion to reconsider the committee report adopted five days earlier. The record vote was 11 Ayes to 0 Nays, and they are named in the printed Ayes list in the committee minutes as "Davis, Yvonne".

WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but deliberately left out of the score: One committee decision, counted once. The House Committee on State Affairs reported this same substituted committee report on Senate Bill 3 to the full House on 2025-04-30, and that report is already counted in this score. The record vote of 2025-05-05 is the committee putting the identical question a second time on a motion to reconsider, and it carried the same way, with no Nays printed on either day. The vote is shown here in full and the number rests on the 2025-04-30 report alone.

Which of the two copies is set aside makes no difference to any score: both are committee votes of the same weight, the same direction and the same recency band, and recomputing all 436 candidates with either one removed moves the same ten numbers by the same amounts.

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 "Davis, Y."; the printed form is matched to this member against the whole membership of the 89th House, who sat for House District 111.

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.

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.
