Texas, USA hemp laws: quick overview

Texas defines hemp under Agriculture Code §121 (via DSHS v. Sky Marketing) as Cannabis sativa L. with delta‑9 THC ≤ 0.3% dry weight ([law.justia.com](https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/supreme-court/2026/23-0887.html?utm_source=openai)). In May 2026, the Texas Supreme Court in DSHS v. Sky Marketing Corp. (No. 23‑0887) upheld DSHS’s authority to classify manufactured delta‑8 THC as a Schedule I controlled substance, removing prior injunctions ([law.justia.com](https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/supreme-court/2026/23-0887.html?utm_source=openai)). Effective March 31 2026, DSHS rules ban smokable hemp products, including hemp flower and pre‑rolled joints ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_in_Texas?utm_source=openai)). Additionally, H&S Code §161.0876, effective September 1 2025, makes sale of any e‑cigarette product containing cannabinoids (including delta‑8) a Class A misdemeanor ([cannabisregulations.ai](https://www.cannabisregulations.ai/state-legality/texas-delta-8?utm_source=openai)).

Shipping guidance

Inbound shipments of hemp products are allowed if compliant with state THC limits and testing. Retailers must verify recipient is 21+. Retailer registration/licensing required under DSHS Consumable Hemp Program; shipping must be accompanied by TDA transport manifest for samples ([texasagriculture.gov](https://texasagriculture.gov/Portals/0/forms/COMM/Hemp/TDA_Hemp_FAQ_04-01-20.pdf?utm_source=openai)).

Testing & COA guidance

Texas requires all consumable hemp products to be tested by laboratories that are ISO/IEC 17025‑accredited and DEA‑registered, and registered with the Texas Department of Agriculture under 4 TAC §24.24 ([txrules.elaws.us](https://txrules.elaws.us/rule/title4_chapter24_sec.24.24?utm_source=openai)). Testing panels must include cannabinoid profile, THC concentration, residual solvents, heavy metals, pesticides, pathogens per 25 TAC §300.301 and Health & Safety Code §443.151 ([law.cornell.edu](https://www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/texas/25-Tex-Admin-Code-SS-300-301?utm_source=openai)). Certificates of Analysis must be retained and made available electronically upon request ([law.cornell.edu](https://www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/texas/25-Tex-Admin-Code-SS-300-301?utm_source=openai)).

What to buy

Allowed products include consumable hemp products (edibles, tinctures, beverages, topicals) containing delta‑9 THC ≤ 0.3% dry weight, tested and compliant, sold to adults 21+.

What to avoid

Avoid manufactured delta‑8 THC products (Schedule I), smokable hemp (flower, pre‑rolls), and any cannabinoid vape/e‑cigarette products (Class A misdemeanor).
