Texas court overturns Austin’s marijuana decriminalization ordinance
Voters overwhelmingly approved the ordinance in 2022.

A court decision has struck down a city of Austin ordinance that decriminalized small amounts of marijuana.
The 15th Court of Appeals found that the ordinance is preempted by state law and therefore cannot be enforced
The ruling follows a lawsuit filed by Attorney General Ken Paxton against Austin, along with four other cities, in 2024, arguing that local policies decriminalizing marijuana violated state law.
Under this ordinance, police officers could not make arrests or issue citations for small amounts of marijuana, except in limited circumstances. At the time the ordinance was passed in 2022, Austin residents overwhelmingly voted in favor, with 85 percent voting in favor.
At the time of the ordinance, the city of Austin cited limited resources as its reason for adopting the ordinance. Since marijuana and hemp cannot be differentiated by sight and smell, officials said at the time that it would take significant city resources to test for THC concentration, which would be better allocated toward other issues.
The city of Austin is currently evaluating how to proceed following the court ruling.
“We have received a decision from the 15th Court of Appeals and thank the Court for its time and consideration. We are reviewing the Court’s ruling as we evaluate our next steps,” a spokesperson for the city told Chron.
A similar ordinance in San Marcos that decriminalized marijuana was also reversed last week.
Meanwhile, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is continuing with his push to ban all products with any amounts of THC – an effort he says is one of his “top five” bills in his time in the Texas legislature. The bill SB 3 has passed through the Senate, and is awaiting judgment in the House.

Jean Hills fibs
www.mattkprovideo.com/2025/04/20/jean-hills-fibs/
Jean Hill caught in several fibs!
At 11:44 jean hill says she had to use her contacts within the police force to get permission to stand inside the “infield” of Dealey Plaza. we can see dozens of civilians standing right near jean Hill and all up and down the infield. Did THEY have to get special permission to be there?
if you believe the Dallas police were in on this evil deed, why would they let anyone into the infield where they could photograph the crime?
18:28 she says she stepped off the curb almost touching the limousine
That didn’t happen
Kennedy turned at Jean and smiled directly at her?and waved?
No he didn’t.
21:41 someone (
22:16 dallas motorcycle policeman “JB” turned his motorcycle around & around in circles???
We see no such thing in any if the movies made that day, do we? ( im willing to concede maybe im wrong on this small point)
23:07 even the woman reading the book has problems with jean hills “wonky timing”
23:38 jean hill says she ran THROUGH the motorcycles and up the grassy knoll
She is LYING!
We can see footage of her still sitting on the curb at time she says she was running up the hill.
We dont see anyone running through the motorcade in any of the home movies No witnesses saw her do this Her best friend said she never left the curb
