Anomalies · where the numbers leave the baseline

Every anomaly in the records, measured by one rule each

What this page is. Public records, each with its source, retrieval time and file hash. It does not suggest or imply that any person or entity has engaged in illegal or improper conduct. Many people and entities have the same or similar names; open the source before relying on a match. Figures marked derived are computed from the records by the rule on the Method page and are not findings. Corrections.

Every section applies one stated rule to everyone in the records. A departure from the baseline is a place to look, not a finding about anyone. Many people share names; open the source before relying on a match. Each section names its rule, its threshold and its sample, and applies it to everyone in the records. An anomaly here means a stated rule matched. The z figure is how many standard errors a value sits from its baseline; three or more is the listing threshold. derived throughout.

Rows with a range (2021–2026) match any year inside it.

The ten that stand out most derived

Ranked by how far each row sits from its baseline, at most three from any one rule. Every row is a place to look, not a finding.

Attorneys who gave to a judge or were appointed by that judge, and how their own cases before that judge ended 250 rows

Rule. One row per attorney–judge pair where a contribution (TEC, county reports) or an appointment with fees (OCA) is on record between the two. Gifts from a firm count for the attorneys the records tie to that firm (principal, officer, or the law-firm field on the report) and are shown in their own column. Cases: every pulled case where that attorney is attorney of record and that judge is a judicial officer. Ending direction is the Method-page proxy from the attorney's side; rate shown at 5+ decided cases beside the court-wide rate for all attorneys. Pairs with no cases before the judge are kept when the gift is $500+ or fees $1,000+. Appointments by their nature put the appointee before the judge; read fees and gifts as separate columns.

Listed when the departure is 3 or more standard errors (binomial). Court is the case's current court; the 457th absorbed cases when it opened in 2020.
