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 "Noble", the only entry in the roll bearing the surname. The bare surname is resolved by seat: this member sits for House District 89, and Texas Legislature Online's member page for the 88th Legislature names that district's representative as Candy Noble.

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.

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 "Noble"; the printed form is matched to this member against the whole membership of the 88th House, who sat for House District 89.

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 Nay on Record Vote 812, third-reading passage of HB 2818, on hemp production and research permits. The bill passed, 126 Yeas to 17 Nays.

Texas House: recorded Nay 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."

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 Nay 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 journal prints this member in the Nay list as "Noble", 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.

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

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.

Answered the Dallas Morning News candidate questionnaire in its 2026 voter guide. The paper asked every candidate in the race: "How do you think the president’s executive order to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule III drug will affect THC regulation in Texas?" The answer given was: "Your question is misleading. The President asked that the reclassification be expedited, without a timeline for reclassification. It also does not legalize the use of marijuana.

The testimony we heard in the legislature on THC was chilling- highly addictive, difficult to determine the strength of the THC and resulting in severe physical reactions in many people. I voted to eliminate the sale of THC in Texas as a result."

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?" The answer, in full: "I think the president's executive order to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule III drug will loosen the THC regulation in Texas.

It could bring in much needed tax revenue into the Texas." The answer predicts what the federal change would do without saying what Texas should do, so this record carries no direction and does not count toward the 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.

Said hemp "could become a significant source of economic growth and revenue for the State of Texas" under a consistent regulatory approach, in the Texas Hemp Business Council’s 2026 candidate questionnaire. The council is a hemp industry trade association; it put twenty questions to 223 candidates for the Texas Legislature and statewide office and publishes the answers it receives in full, without editing. These are the candidate’s own words, submitted by the candidate.

Asked about the future of hemp in Texas, the answer was, in full: "My position on the future of hemp in Texas is that we should first look to other states that have successfully implemented hemp programs and use their experiences as a model. Texas should adopt a thoughtful, consistent regulatory approach that treats hemp fairly and responsibly within the existing framework for controlled substances. With the proper safeguards, oversight, and legislation in place, I believe hemp could become a significant source of economic growth and revenue for the State of Texas.

By learning from successful programs in other states and establishing clear regulations that prioritize public safety, accountability, and responsible industry development, Texas can create a balanced approach that protects its communities while taking advantage of the economic opportunities hemp can provide." Asked who should be permitted to sell THC, to whom, at what dose, in what form and subject to what safeguards: "Regulated businesses, to people over 21, I am not familiar enough with the form or what safeguards should be in place.

The benefit must outweigh the risks to the state and its residents." On the questionnaire’s fixed-choice questions: on maintaining a legal, regulated hemp marketplace, "Support"; on whether regulation is preferable to prohibition where a product can be made and sold safely, "Yes"; on hemp agriculture, "Support"; on retail regulation, "Reasonable statewide licensing/registration"; on tax policy, "Depends on the proposed tax"; on consumer choice, "Depends on the product or dosage".

The date is the date the council recorded the submission, in Central time.
