Texas House, District 112
About this race: A Dallas-Fort Worth area district. The sitting member's recorded votes on the 2025 hemp-THC ban and the Compassionate Use Program expansion are listed below in date order, with their record-vote numbers, as the official journals print them.
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
Zach Herbert’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 112 race page.

No score: the record below carries no direction this site is willing to score — an abstention, a vote on a bill whose effect on legal access is genuinely arguable, or a statement that names no position. It is shown in full so you can read it and judge for yourself.

Questionnaire2026-02-03
Answered The Dallas Morning News's 2026 voter-guide questionnaire, which asked every Texas House and Texas Senate candidate in its guide, "How do you think the president's executive order to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule III drug will affect THC regulation in Texas?" He answered in full: "For Texas, the federal change alone won't override our state's current laws, which still classify marijuana as illegal for recreational use and tightly limit medical use.
What it could do is influence conversations about regulation and research here, possibly shaping future state policy debates on medical THC products." He described what he expects the federal change to do and did not say what he thinks Texas should do, so this record carries no direction and does not count toward his score. The News published the guide on 2026-02-03; the live page is no longer readable by automated tools, so the answer is cited to the Internet Archive's copy of the guide's own data file.
WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but deliberately left out of the score: Predicted what the federal reclassification would and would not change in Texas without saying what Texas should do, so the answer carries no direction.

Who is paying for this campaign
Campaign finance — Texas Ethics Commission
We could not match a Commission filer number to this name. The
Commission’s list of candidates who have appointed a campaign treasurer carried no
single row matching both the surname and the given name on the ballot for this seat, so
none was guessed at. Zach Herbert may have filed under a different form of their name.
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.

“Contributions” and search by name.
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 Zach Herbert 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.
