Texas House, District 145
East Houston. The incumbent voted for the medical expansion and against the hemp-THC ban at both stages.
How this score is worked out
Seven kinds of act move this number, and they do not count equally. A recorded vote counts 3, and so does authoring a bill or signing an executive action; signing on to somebody else’s bill counts 2. A statement or a questionnaire answer counts 2 as well, and an organisational endorsement counts 1. A vote takes its direction from the bill, whose effect is set out in advance; the rest take it from our reading of what was said, and each one below shows that reading and the reason for it. Acts shown with no number were examined and deliberately left out of the arithmetic, with a reason given.

Vote2019-04-24
Texas House: recorded Yea on Record Vote 609, final House passage of HB 1325, the 2019 bill on the production and regulation of hemp and products made from hemp, which carried 144 Yeas to 0 Nays, with 1 present and not voting.
WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but not counted in the score: This site deliberately does not score HB 1325 (86th Legislature), so a record on it moves no number.
Why HB 1325 is not scored
Production and regulation of hemp — the 2019 bill that brought Texas into line with the federal hemp definition. It is an agricultural and licensing framework rather than an access measure, and it is read the same way as the other hemp-production bills here, so it is not scored. Its votes are still shown.

Texas House: recorded Yea on Record Vote 663, third-reading passage of HB 3948, on the production and regulation of hemp and consumable hemp products, which carried 132 Yeas to 13 Nays, with 2 present and not voting.
WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but not counted in the score: This site deliberately does not score HB 3948 (87th Legislature), so a record on it moves no number.
Why HB 3948 is not scored
Hemp and consumable hemp production and regulation. Read as an industry framework rather than an access measure; the direction is arguable, so it is not scored.

Vote2023-04-14
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 "Morales, C.", the only entry in the roll bearing the surname. The bare surname is resolved by seat: this member sits for House District 145, and Texas Legislature Online's member page for the 88th Legislature names that district's representative as Christina Morales.
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.

Vote2023-04-25
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 "Morales, C."; the printed form is matched to this member against the whole membership of the 88th House, who sat for House District 145.
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 "Morales, C.", the only entry in the roll bearing the surname.
The bare surname is resolved by seat: this member sits for House District 145, and Texas Legislature Online's member page for the 88th Legislature names that district's representative as Christina Morales.
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 "Morales, C.", the only entry in the roll bearing the surname.
The bare surname is resolved by seat: this member sits for House District 145, and Texas Legislature Online's member page for the 88th Legislature names that district's representative as Christina Morales.
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.

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 "Morales, C.", the only entry in the roll bearing the surname.
The bare surname is resolved by seat: this member sits for House District 145, and Texas Legislature Online's member page for the 88th Legislature names that district's representative as Christina Morales.
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.

Texas House: recorded Nay on Record Vote 2168, the motion to concur in the Senate’s changes to 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 vote that finally passed it. The measure carried, 136 Yeas to 6 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 Nay list as "Morales, C."; the printed form is matched to this member against the whole membership of the 88th House, who sat for House District 145.
WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but deliberately left out of the score: A Nay on concurring in the Senate’s changes to the bill. Refusing the Senate version and opposing the bill point opposite ways, and the record does not say which this was. This act would be shown and not scored in any case: House Bill 114 is on this site’s unscored list as a school-discipline measure rather than a cannabis-access measure.

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 "Morales, C."; the printed form is matched to this member against the whole membership of the 89th House, who sat for House District 145.
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.

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.

Texas House: recorded Yea on Record Vote 4167, adoption of HCR 171, the second enrolling correction to HB 46, which instructed the enrolling clerk of the house to strike from the enrolled bill a sentence allowing low-THC cannabis prescribed for pulmonary inhalation to exceed one percent tetrahydrocannabinols by weight in each dosage unit. The resolution was adopted 138 Yeas to 0 Nays with 1 present not voting, and the House Journal for the 81st Day names this member in the printed Yeas list.
WeedVoter’s note — shown here, but not counted in the score: This site deliberately does not score HCR 171 (89th Legislature), so a record on it moves no number.
Why HCR 171 is not scored
A concurrent resolution, not a bill: it instructed the enrolling clerk to strike from the enrolled HB 46, in Section 16, added Section 169.006(b), Occupations Code (page 11, lines 16-20), the sentence “Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, low-THC cannabis prescribed under Subsection (a) for pulmonary inhalation may exceed one percent by weight of tetrahydrocannabinols in each dosage unit of the substance to be aerosolized or vaporized.”
Adopted 2025-06-02 by Record Vote 4167, 138 Yeas to 0 Nays with 1 present not voting, House Journal 81st Day pages 7921-7922.
⚠️Read alone it looks like stripping a potency allowance out of the medical programme, and the journals say otherwise. The sentence entered the bill through King's floor Amendment No. 1 on second reading, House Journal 62nd Day, 2025-05-12 (journals.house.texas.gov/hjrnl/89r/html/89RDAY62FINAL.HTM), item (10); item (9) of the same amendment fixed the definition of low-THC cannabis at not more than one percent by weight in each dosage unit, which is the benchmark the sentence excepts itself from.
The conference committee report laid before the house on 2025-06-01 replaced that cap with not more than 10 milligrams in each dosage unit, and its own text of Section 169.006(b) consists only of the second sentence: the notwithstanding clause does not appear anywhere in the conference report as printed, House Journal 80th Day page 7900. So the struck sentence was not in the text either chamber finally adopted and it pointed at a cap the same report had deleted.
HCR 171 conformed the enrolled bill to the bill that passed, which is what its own recital says and what 138 to 0 looks like; HB 46 took a second enrolling correction the day before, SCR 56 at Record Vote 4164. A Yes on an enrolling correction is not a position on potency. The enrolled text itself cannot be checked from here: capitol.texas.gov disallows /TLODOCS/ to us.
No record compiled yet. Nothing on cannabis — no vote, bill, statement or endorsement — was found in any source we could read. One limit on that search is recorded with it.
What was checked for Inocensia Moreno, 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.
Also checked, and read in full on 2026-09-18: this candidate's Ballotpedia profile at ballotpedia.org/Inocensia_Moreno, including any Candidate Connection survey answers published there, which contains no mention of cannabis, marijuana, hemp, THC or CBD.
Their Ballotpedia profile was read in full on 2026-09-20 at ballotpedia.org/Inocensia_Moreno (14796 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.
A campaign site of this candidate's own was found on 2026-10-15 at www.morenofortxhd145.com — it is the website address Community Impact prints beside her name in its District 145 candidate Q&A, and the site names her as the Republican candidate for House District 145 — and it was read on that date. The pages it returned are described in the list below, and none of them contains cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD, delta-8 or Compassionate Use.
Until that date this card said that whether she had a campaign site of her own was an open question, because this guide had not found one.
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/Inocensia-Moreno — 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 145 - 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/inocensia-moreno — 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 3 source(s) of its own. Marijuana is one of the issues it tracks by name, and it lists Marijuana among the 41 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.
- communityimpact.com/heights-river-oaks-montrose/election/qa-meet-the-candidates-for-texas-house-district-145 — sections on the page: Read 2026-10-15, HTTP 200. Community Impact's candidate Q&A for the November 2026 general election in Texas House District 145, published 2026-09-03. This candidate's answers are printed. The 5 questions put to every candidate were: “Why are you running for this position?”; “What are the biggest challenges facing this district?”; “What would your top priorities be if elected?”; “What will you do to bring down the cost of living for Texas residents?”; “What will you do to support small businesses and promote economic growth in Texas?”. 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.
- www.morenofortxhd145.com their own site — sections on the page: Read 2026-10-15. A campaign site of this candidate's own, found as the website address Community Impact prints beside her name in its District 145 Q&A; its about page names her as the Republican candidate for Texas House District 145. 11 distinct pages returned HTTP 200 — home, about, issues, events, media, volunteer, contact, donate and two donation-return pages, reached from the home page's links and from the site's sitemap.xml — each fetched only after its robots.txt had been checked at that exact path. Its issues page lists affordability, education, crime and public safety, and infrastructure. No page contains cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD, delta-8 or Compassionate Use.
- onyourballot.vote411.org/race-detail.do?id=71560935 — 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 145. 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 all four questions, and 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; this general-election questionnaire carries their answers. The page lists morenofortxhd145.com as their campaign website, which is the site already listed on this card as theirs.
