Texas prohibits all recreational cannabis delivery. Compassionate Use Program low-THC products may be delivered to qualifying patients only by the three licensed dispensing organizations. Hemp-derived products under 0.3% delta-9 THC may be delivered legally under Texas Agriculture Code Chapter 122.
Recreational cannabis delivery is a felony in Texas under H&S Code Section 481.120, regardless of any local Houston ordinance. Only the three Compassionate Use Program dispensing organizations licensed under H&S Code Chapter 487 may deliver low-THC cannabis to patients on the Compassionate Use Registry, complying with DPS rules at 37 TAC Chapter 12. Hemp-derived products meeting the federal 2018 Farm Bill and Texas Agriculture Code Chapter 122 definition (under 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight) may be sold and delivered like any consumer product, subject to standard Houston business licensing. Delta-8 sits in contested space pending Texas litigation. Houston Police Department narcotics enforcement priorities have shifted toward distribution, not personal-use delivery interdiction.
Unlicensed cannabis delivery is a state-jail to first-degree felony under TX H&S Code Section 481.120 depending on quantity, with penalties of 180 days to life imprisonment plus fines up to $250,000.
