Corrections

Every error this guide has fixed in a published fact, newest first: what the page said, what it says now, and how the fix was checked.

Reporting an error

No reporting address is published yet. One will be added here.

Every claim on this site links to the document it came from, so a report can be checked against the same source. Where a report is right, the page is corrected and an entry is added below. Corrections are never made silently.

The log

22 corrections. Entries from before September 22, 2026 were reconstructed from the project's dated working notes, and smaller fixes from that period may not appear. From September 22, 2026 on, every correction to a published fact is listed here.

The Texas city-by-city law table was out of date and incomplete

What the site said: The table said seven Texas cities had voted on marijuana enforcement since 2022. It listed Dallas as in litigation after a judge let the city enforce Proposition R, and Denton as in litigation with no outcome confirmed. It left out Harker Heights, Bastrop, Lockhart and San Antonio. The Houston measure page said appeals courts had struck down the ordinances of all five cities sued in 2024.

What it says now: Dallas agreed in June 2025 to stop enforcing Proposition R while its case continues, and Denton’s council repealed its ordinance on 2025-05-20; both rows are corrected. Harker Heights, Bastrop, Lockhart and San Antonio are added, each with sources, and the table now counts ten cities from its own rows. The Houston page now says an appeals court ruled on two of the five.

The Land Commissioner race denied records printed below it

What the site said: The race summary said "No candidate in this race has a documented cannabis act", above Dawn Buckingham’s recorded Senate votes on hemp and the Compassionate-Use Program and Benjamin Flores’s published position on the 2026 hemp restrictions. Buckingham, who holds the office, was also not labelled the incumbent.

What it says now: The summary now describes the records on the page, and Buckingham is labelled the incumbent, confirmed on the General Land Office’s own site. A build test now refuses any race summary that says no candidate has a record while its candidates carry one.

Pages affected: Dawn Buckingham, Benjamin Flores

Three Texas Senate races showed the wrong incumbent

What the site said: Taylor Rehmet, who has held Senate District 9 since a 2026 special election runoff, was not labelled the incumbent, and the race said no candidate on the ballot holds Texas legislative office. Trent Ashby (District 3) and David Cook (District 22), both members of the Texas House, carried an "Incumbent" label for Senate seats they do not hold, and their races described their House votes as the sitting member’s.

What it says now: All three corrected against the Texas Senate’s own member pages: Rehmet is labelled the incumbent, District 3 is held by Robert Nichols, who is not on the ballot, and District 22 is currently vacant. Ashby’s and Cook’s votes are now described as House votes. A build test now checks every Texas House and Senate race against the Legislature’s roster.

Pages affected: Taylor Rehmet, Trent Ashby, David Cook

Two Court of Criminal Appeals races were missing

What the site said: The guide left out the races for Judge, Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 4 and Place 9. Both are on every Texas ballot.

What it says now: Both races added from the Secretary of State's certified general-election ballot, with all four certified candidates.

Pages affected: Kevin Patrick Yeary, Audra Riley, John Messinger, Holly Taylor

A write-in candidate for Governor was listed as a printed candidate

What the site said: Jenn Mack Raphoon was listed as an Independent whose name is printed on the Governor ballot, and the race said four names are printed.

What it says now: She filed an independent declaration of intent but did not qualify for the printed ballot. She is a certified write-in candidate, listed by the Secretary of State as Jenn Mack. She is now shown with the race's write-ins, and the race correctly says three names are printed.

32 cards claimed a Ballotpedia page had been read when it did not exist

What the site said: 32 "no record found" cards said the candidate's Ballotpedia profile had been read and contained nothing about cannabis. The addresses checked return "page not found"; our checker mistook that page for an empty profile.

What it says now: All 32 claims retracted. Most of those candidates do have a profile, filed under a title without their middle initial. The line was put back only where the profile was confirmed to name Texas and the specific seat, so it is the same person.

Four challengers were labelled "Incumbent"

What the site said: Four US House challengers carried an "Incumbent" label, in races that already had an incumbent: Danny Minton (District 6), Angela "Heli" Rodriguez Prilliman (District 12), Phil Gray (District 26) and Justin Early (District 31). None has served in Congress.

What it says now: Labels checked against the House Clerk's member roster and corrected. A build test now refuses any race with more than one incumbent.

Pages affected: Danny Minton, Angela "Heli" Rodriguez Prilliman, Phil Gray, Justin Early

People-search listings were shown as two candidates' campaign websites

What the site said: A people-search directory listing was named as the campaign website of Anthony Gupta, and another as the campaign website of Cheryl Lynn Clark.

What it says now: Both cards now say no campaign website of their own could be found. The directory listings are deliberately not linked, because they carry private details such as home addresses.

Pages affected: Anthony Gupta, Cheryl Lynn Clark

112 cards overstated how much of a campaign website had been read

What the site said: 112 "no record found" cards said the candidate's campaign site contained no mention of cannabis, marijuana, hemp, THC or CBD. Only each site's home page had been read.

What it says now: Every site re-read, including the pages its home page links to. Each card now says how many pages were read and that this covers the pages that can be reached, not necessarily the whole site.

A candidate with a published hemp position was shown as having no record

What the site said: Benjamin Flores's card said no cannabis record had been found.

What it says now: The deeper re-read found a question-and-answer page on his campaign site addressing the 31 July hemp restrictions. His record now quotes it, with the source linked.

Pages affected: Benjamin Flores

A card said a candidate for Governor had not been researched

What the site said: Jenn Mack Raphoon's card said her record had not yet been searched, after it had been.

What it says now: The card now lists what was actually read.

The "no score" explanation denied records printed below it

What the site said: Every unscored candidate got the same explanation: no recorded vote or bill authorship. On some pages it sat directly above that candidate's recorded votes, most visibly on the page of the Speaker of the House, Dustin Burrows.

What it says now: The explanation now depends on whether the candidate has records. A build test checks every candidate page for a card that denies a record the same page prints.

Pages affected: Dustin Burrows

Two race summaries contradicted the records beneath them

What the site said: The US House District 2 summary said no candidate held Texas legislative office or appeared in any 2025 roll call, above Steve Toth's 2025 roll calls. The Texas Senate District 4 summary said neither candidate held legislative office, about a sitting state senator, Brett W. Ligon.

What it says now: Both summaries corrected. A build test now checks every summary's claims against the records and incumbency data it sits above.

Pages affected: Steve Toth, Brett W. Ligon

93 recorded votes were displayed but left out of scores

What the site said: Votes adopting the conference committee report on House Bill 46, the medical cannabis expansion, were shown on candidate pages but not counted in their scores.

What it says now: They are now counted, and the affected scores were recalculated.

Scores ignored candidates' own public statements

What the site said: The first version of the score counted only votes and bill authorships, so it showed "No score" for Dan Patrick and Greg Abbott beside this site's own quotations of their statements on cannabis.

What it says now: Statements now count, each carrying a direction and a written reason for it that is shown on the page, so a reader can disagree with a specific judgement.

Pages affected: Dan Patrick, Greg Abbott

Two candidates' questionnaire answers carried the wrong date

What the site said: Leigh Wambsganss's and Taylor Rehmet's answers to a newspaper questionnaire were dated 2026-09-17, the date the page was republished.

What it says now: Dated 2025-10-13, the date the page first carried them, confirmed from an Internet Archive capture now cited as the first source.

Pages affected: Leigh Wambsganss, Taylor Rehmet

A certified US Senate candidate was missing

What the site said: Ted Brown, the Libertarian nominee, was missing from the US Senate race, and the race gave the wrong number of printed candidates.

What it says now: Added from the Secretary of State's certified list, which prints three names.

Pages affected: Ted Brown

The Governor's hemp executive order carried the wrong date

What the site said: Dated 2025-09-25, taken from a secondary source.

What it says now: Dated 2025-09-10, the date the Governor's office gives.

Pages affected: Greg Abbott

One of two records from the Governor's veto proclamation was dropped

What the site said: The veto proclamation for Senate Bill 3 contains two separate acts, the veto and a call for stricter regulation. Only one was shown.

What it says now: Both are shown.

Pages affected: Greg Abbott

The Governor race said its candidates had not been researched

What the site said: A note on the race said its candidates were not yet researched, after all of them had been.

What it says now: Note removed. The build now refuses a race note that contradicts the records on the page.

Six senators were shown with named votes the Journal does not record

What the site said: Six records said a senator was "recorded Yea" on the two Senate votes on House Bill 46. The Senate Journal prints those votes as 31 to 0 without listing names.

What it says now: Described as unanimous votes of the Senate, which is what the cited page supports.

18 co-authorships carried the bill's date, not the member's

What the site said: 18 co-authorship records were dated from the bill's history, not the date the member actually signed on. One was off by about three months.

What it says now: Re-dated from the Legislature's own list of authors, which records each member's sign-on date.
