Texas does not permit recreational cannabis dispensaries. Lewisville has no local cannabis retail zoning. Only state-licensed Compassionate Use organizations may operate.
Texas law does not permit recreational cannabis sales or traditional cannabis dispensaries. The only legal cannabis distribution channel is through the Compassionate Use Program administered by the Texas Department of Public Safety. As of 2024, only three licensed dispensing organizations operate statewide, and none are located in Lewisville or Denton County. These organizations are regulated exclusively at the state level and must comply with DPS licensing requirements covering security, testing, labeling, and distribution protocols. Lewisville's Unified Development Code does not include zoning provisions for cannabis dispensaries because the use is not generally authorized under Texas law. Local governments in Texas cannot independently authorize cannabis retail beyond what state law permits. If a Compassionate Use dispensary sought to operate in Lewisville, it would need state DPS licensing and compliance with applicable commercial zoning district use requirements. The facility would also need a certificate of occupancy from the city. Hemp-derived CBD products containing less than 0.3% THC are legal for retail sale in Texas and do not require special zoning beyond standard commercial use approvals. Contact Lewisville Planning at (972) 219-3600 for zoning questions.
Operating an unauthorized cannabis dispensary is a felony under Texas law. Delivery or distribution of marijuana outside the Compassionate Use Program is prosecuted as delivery of a controlled substance, ranging from a state jail felony to a first-degree felony depending on quantity. Penalties include imprisonment up to 99 years and fines up to $250,000 for large quantities.
