What the record says

Tex. Health & Safety Code 443.204(4) prohibits 'the processing or manufacturing of a consumable hemp product for smoking' (upheld by the Texas Supreme Court in 2022), but a lower-court injunction continues to allow distribution and retail sale of smokable consumable hemp, per DSHS. DSHS rules effective March 31, 2026 apply a 0.3% Total THC limit (THCa counted) and set 21+ (emergency rule Oct. 2, 2025, then codified), with retail registration ($5,000) and manufacturer licensing; out-of-state-made CBD/CBG cigarettes and pre-rolls testing under 0.3% total THC can be sold. The manufacture ban alone does not stop out-of-state product, so not effectively prohibitive. Penalty: license or registration revocation and administrative fees up to $10,000 per day of violation. Watch the Travis County litigation over the total-THC rules and any 2027 legislative session changes (SB 3 of 2025 was vetoed). Applies to CBG pre-rolls and flower. Flags: sale ban False, manufacture-only ban True, shipping ban False, 21+ True, license True, total-THC flower test True. Pending: DSHS total-THC rules (eff. 2026-03-31) remain under challenge; Travis County temporary injunction was dissolved on appeal (Fifteenth Court of Appeals, June 2026); trial and final appellate ruling pending. Federal: hemp redefinition limiting hemp-derived products to 0.4 mg total THC per container now takes effect 2026-12-11 (moved from 2026-11-12 by H.R. 6500, signed 2026-09-02, per Foley Hoag Sept 2026); a 0.3% total-THC pre-roll can exceed 0.4 mg per container.
