Despite it being the title for the article, I'd argue that the statement "Texas might have accidentally decriminalized marijuana" is entirely false. All that's happened is that the threshold for successful prosecution has changed slightly - not even necessarily "been lowered", but "changed" - and the state's forensic labs aren't yet set up to deal with the new requirements. People arrested now who fall under this gray area will likely be released without charges, but there is nothing at all stopping them from arresting them again and charging them next week/month/year when the labs catch up.
