Texas
General Regulation
Adopted the Farm Bill threshold of 0.3% THC by dry weight.
Retailers are required to hold a registration ($5,000 fee), in-state manufacturers must hold a consumable hemp license ($10,000). A wholesaler must be a registered wholesaler with the state under Texas HSC Chapter 431 before engaging in the distribution of consumable hemp products. Out of state brands aren't required to obtain any licenses or permits, but the labeling is different than any other state.
