Texas Cannabis LedgerThe count is real. The rate needs context.
Texas DPS reports 1 marijuana arrests for Lipscomb County in 2025. Census estimates 2,955 residents. Dividing those figures produces 33.8 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.
