Dallas County has no recreational cannabis dispensary buffer-zone rules because Texas does not allow recreational dispensaries. Compassionate Use Program (CUP) sites face no state-mandated school or daycare buffer; CBD-only retailers operate under standard commercial zoning with no buffer mandate.
Cannabis buffer zones in legalization states typically require dispensaries to sit 500 to 1,000 feet from schools, daycares, churches, or parks. Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 487 governing the Compassionate Use Program does not impose statewide sensitive-use buffers on the three licensed dispensing organizations, since they operate as low-volume medical providers. Dallas County in unincorporated areas relies on city ETJ rules and TX Local Government Code Chapter 232 plat authority, neither of which addresses cannabis-specific buffers. With no recreational dispensary framework legal in Texas, the Dallas County Commissioners Court cannot adopt buffer rules for storefronts that do not exist. CBD retailers selling hemp products under TX Agriculture Code Chapter 122 face standard commercial zoning rules.
Not applicable. Without recreational dispensaries, no buffer-zone enforcement mechanism exists. CBD retailers face standard zoning enforcement under city codes within incorporated areas; unincorporated retail is rare in this densely incorporated county.
