Summary: In \textit{Twisted topological graph algebras}, to
appear in Houston J. Math., the second author showed how Katsura's
construction of the $C^*$-algebra of a topological graph $E$ may be twisted
by a Hermitian line bundle $L$ over the edge space $E^1$. The correspondence
defining the algebra is obtained as the completion of the compactly
supported continuous sections of $L$. We prove that the resulting
$C^*$-algebra is isomorphic to a twisted groupoid $C^*$-algebra where the
underlying groupoid is the Renault--Deaconu groupoid of the topological
graph with Yeend's boundary path space as its unit space.
