Tobacco and vape retailers in Frisco must hold a state Comptroller permit, post age-21 signage, and verify ID for all tobacco and e-cigarette sales under Texas Health and Safety Code Section 161.0815.
Texas raised the tobacco purchase age to 21 in 2019 (HSC 161.0815) with a narrow military exception eliminated by federal law. Retailers obtain a Texas Comptroller permit, post Sign 21+ notices, check photo ID for buyers under 30, and train staff. Frisco Police and the Comptroller conduct compliance checks using underage decoys. Vape and e-cigarette products fall under the same regime. Local sign-permit and zoning rules layer on top of state retailer licensing.
Selling to underage buyers, missing permits, or absent signage results in fines up to $500 per violation, permit suspension, and clerk citations under HSC Chapter 161.
