Department of Justice obligations in Texas 33rd District (TX-33)

The Texas 33rd District (TX-33) filter on Justice

Awarding agency 015 and congressional district TX-33 meet here. $227,219,413.30 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Justice’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Texas 33rd District (TX-33), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DOJ components or contract versus assistance instruments. 2,537 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a case docket, a prison census, or a named-grantee file.

Dividing $227,219,413.30 by 2,537 yields about $89,562.24 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 2,537 awards is a thick Justice file. Volume pulls the implied mean down. A small share of a huge district total is still a two-hundred-twenty-seven-million-dollar Department of Justice cell. It is not a case docket. Do not treat TX-33’s 015 cell as a synonym for every Justice account nationwide. Open Texas 33rd District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Justice for agency 015 without the TX-33 filter, Texas federal spending for every awarding agency in the Texas extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $227,219,413.30.

The Department of Justice awarding-agency rollup

USAspending labels awarding agency 015 as Department of Justice. That code produced $227,219,413.30 when crossed with Texas 33rd District (TX-33) place of performance. The agency-wide 015 hub does not require TX-33 geography. The district hub does not require Justice. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 2,537 awards. The packet does not split DOJ components or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Texas 33rd District (TX-33) did not “cause” $227,219,413.30 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 015 × TX-33 only. It is not a case docket, a prison census, or a named-grantee file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Reading the TX-33 stamp

Texas 33rd District (TX-33) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list TX-33 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Texas districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 015. Texas 33rd District (TX-33) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Texas. Other Texas districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 015. Texas 33rd District (TX-33) is a high-dollar place-of-performance geography, distinct from Texas 24th District. Other awarding agencies share TX-33 on other ties.

Texas federal spending shows how agency 015 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $227,219,413.30 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Texas 33rd District (TX-33) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of Justice. The district-wide obligation total published here is $54,453,144,624.98; $227,219,413.30 is the Justice slice of that denominator.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $227,219,413.30 is that kind of sum for Department of Justice inside TX-33 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $227,219,413.30 as given.

Texas’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 2,537-row Justice cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 2,537 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($89,562.24) is a concentration statistic, not a typical TX-33 Justice payment.

Row count versus dollar concentration

2,537 awards is a thick Justice file. Volume pulls the implied mean down. A small share of a huge district total is still a two-hundred-twenty-seven-million-dollar Department of Justice cell. It is not a case docket. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $89,562.24) and the district share (0.4% of $54,453,144,624.98) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Texas 33rd District and Department of Justice if the live tables moved.

Questions

How much Justice spending is coded to Texas 33rd District (TX-33)?

Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $89,562.24, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $227,219,413.30 include every Justice program in TX-33?

The packet does not split DOJ components or contract versus assistance instruments. $227,219,413.30 is the combined obligation sum for agency 015 inside TX-33 coding.

Is $227,219,413.30 cash already paid in Texas 33rd District (TX-33)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $227,219,413.30 as checks already cleared in Texas 33rd District (TX-33) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 2,537 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
