How many freshmen state legislators can dance on the head of a pin? We don't claim to know. But we do know that the number of freshmen in the state House this year depends on how you define a freshman.

The state House clerk's office helped us get our numbers straight as we were preparing our story and map last week, in which we posted the personal financial disclosure forms of all the legislature's freshmen.

There are 17 true freshmen this year in the House. (It's a long list, so we'll only do last names here: Alvarado, Button, Fletcher, Kent, Kleinschmidt, Legler, Maldonado, Marquez, Miller, Miklos, Moody, Rios Ybarra, Shelton, Thibaut, Turner, Walle and Weber.)

Then there are two others who are returning this year after previous stints in the legislature: Rep. Todd Hunter, a Corpus Christi Republican, and Rep. Al Edwards, a Houston Democrat. (We like to think of these go-away-and-come-back situations as "doing a Grover Cleveland.")

Then there are three other House members who aren't really freshmen per se, but because they went into office through special elections after the last legislature went home, this is the first time they've actually gotten to sit in a session of the legislature. They are Rep. Roland Gutierrez, a Democrat from San Antonio; Rep. Tryon Lewis, an Odessa Republican; and Rep. Ralph Sheffield, a Temple Republican.

We published the ethics forms for the first 19 -- the 17 true freshmen, plus Hunter and Edwards -- on our interactive Google map last week. But just so no one is left out, here are the ethics forms for those last three: Gutierrez, Lewis and Sheffield.
