Hemp and CBD retail in Dallas County operates under standard commercial zoning per TX Agriculture Code Chapter 122, which permits hemp-derived sales. Recreational cannabis dispensaries are illegal statewide. The three Compassionate Use Program licensees are sited outside the county; counties have narrow zoning authority compared to cities.
Texas Hemp Farming Act in Agriculture Code Chapter 122 legalizes hemp-derived products containing under 0.3% delta-9 THC. CBD shops, smoke shops, and delta-8 retailers throughout Dallas County operate under each city's general retail zoning categories within incorporated areas. In unincorporated Dallas County, TX Local Government Code Chapter 232 authorizes only plat-related and limited subdivision regulation, not detailed use-by-use commercial zoning, so CBD retail is broadly permitted subject to fire and building code. The three Texas Compassionate Use Program licensees (held by Goodblend, Surterra, and Fluent at last licensing round) are sited outside Dallas County. Recreational dispensaries cannot be permitted because state law prohibits the underlying activity, and no county process can override that.
Unauthorized cannabis retail violates state H&S Code 481.120 (felony) prosecuted by Dallas County DA. CBD retailers face local building, fire, and certificate-of-occupancy enforcement through the encompassing city; unincorporated sites face fire-marshal and building inspection only.
