NoteThe source text confirms that R Street Institute is indeed a stakeholder in this coalition. Adam Thierer, identified as 'Senior Fellow, R Street Institute,' is one of the signatories on the coalition letter urging Texas lawmakers against heavy-handed AI regulation. The record correctly identifies R Street Institute as part of a coalition, though the coalition composition is not explicitly named as a formal entity in the source—it is an ad-hoc coalition of organizations signing the letter. The 'unknown' designation for the coalition name is appropriate since the source does not give the coalition itself a formal name, only lists it as 'Coalition Urges Texas Lawmakers Against Heavy-Handed Regulation Of AI.'
