	21	+== Overview == On **September 9, 2023**, Unbiased Crime Report (@UnbiasedCrime) published an in-depth analysis of the Texas Department of Public Safety’s sex offender registry, focusing on race and ethnicity misclassifications. The thread examines a database of 101,976 registrants and highlights systemic data errors that misrepresent non-White offenders as White.
	22	+
	23	+== Data Collection == 1. Downloaded the full Texas Sex Offender Registry: **101,976** entries.\\2. Queried the database to flag potential mismatches between surnames, self-reported race/ethnicity, and demographic patterns.\\3. Used custom scripts to compute initial accuracy metrics.
	24	+
	25	+== Key Findings == 1. **Raw Misclassification Counts**\\* Hispanics flagged as “Non-Hispanic White”: **11,541**\\* Blacks flagged as White: **92**\\* Asians flagged as White: **34**\\* Whites flagged as Black: **1**
	26	+
	27	+1. **Accuracy Metrics**
	28	+1*. Initial accuracy: **89.48 %**.\\
	29	+1*. After manual verification: **92.27 %**.\\
	30	+1*. Remaining false positives to review: **2,590**.
	31	+1. **Notable Examples**
	32	+1*. Clusters of “Hernandez” surnames incorrectly marked as White.\\
	33	+1*. **Dequan**, a documented Black offender, listed as “Non-Hispanic White.”\\
	34	+1*. **Louby Innocent**, originally marked Black in Florida, appeared as White in Texas.
	35	+
	36	+== Methodology == 1. Automated surname-based queries to generate candidate mismatches.\\2. Manual review of flagged entries by cross-referencing public DPS records.\\3. Iterative re-runs to refine the matching algorithm and reduce false positives.
	37	+
	38	+== Impact and Next Steps == 1. Archived original registry entries to preserve evidence before corrections.\\2. Planned release of a comprehensive spreadsheet with all verified entries and source links.\\3. Recommendation: Texas DPS should implement routine data audits to ensure accurate race/ethnicity reporting.
