Sources
Verification note. Percentages, sample size and margin of error read from the Houston Chronicle write-up of 2015-10-13 (poll released Sunday, 2015-10-11). No topline was published by the station and none could be located, so the question wordings below are the reporter's paraphrases and are flagged as non-verbatim. Exact field dates were never published.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.
Questions asked (2)
vote intention on the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (Proposition 1)
[Paraphrase - support or oppose the Houston equal rights ordinance]
Wording reconstructed from: Houston Chronicle write-up, October 13, 2015: 'Overall, 43 percent of respondents to the KHOU/KUHF poll released Sunday supported the ordinance, 37 percent opposed it, and 18 percent were unsure of their stance.' The administered wording was never published.
Wording notes: administered wording unknown - it is not recoverable whether the ballot language listing gender identity was read
unclear — the wording was never released, so no assessment is possible; the record is retained because the follow-up item below establishes that the battery explicitly raised transgender restroom access

whether the restroom argument would move ordinance supporters
[Paraphrase - asked of supporters: whether they would change their support if they knew a man who identifies and dresses as a woman could use a woman's restroom under the law]
Wording reconstructed from: Houston Chronicle write-up, October 13, 2015: 'among those who said they support the ordinance, 72 percent said they would not change their support if they knew a man who identifies and dresses as a woman could use a woman's restroom under the law.' The administered wording was never published.
Wording notes: as reported, the probe describes a trans woman as 'a man who identifies and dresses as a woman' | argument-testing design: presents only the opposition's frame to supporters
loaded_terms — the reported description of a transgender woman as 'a man who identifies and dresses as a woman' is the opposition campaign's framing rather than neutral description; because the pollster never released the administered text, it cannot be established whether this phrasing is the pollster's or the reporter's, which is itself the reason the item is flagged rather than scored
