The count is real. The rate needs context.
Texas DPS reports 29 marijuana arrests for Crockett County in 2025. Census estimates 2,769 residents. Dividing those figures produces 1047.3 per 100,000, but DPS county records do not establish that the people arrested were county residents. The Ledger therefore shows the calculation without ranking it.
The source record over time

|---|---|---|---|

| 2024 | 17 | 17 | 606.5 |
| 2025 | 29 | 29 | 1047.3 |
Why this county is not ranked
Counties below 10,000 residents are excluded from the comparative rate ranking. Their small denominators can magnify the result, and county-reported arrests may include people who live elsewhere. 29 of 29 records were classified as possession.
