Cannabis dispensary zoning is governed entirely by Texas state law, which preempts local regulation. The Texas Compassionate Use Program (CUP) allows licensed dispensing organizations to cultivate, process, and dispense low-THC cannabis. San Antonio cannot enact separate zoning for cannabis dispensaries. Only three licensed dispensaries operate statewide under DSHS oversight. Recreational marijuana dispensaries are prohibited in Texas.
San Antonio prohibits cannabis dispensaries and retail sales. State law does not authorize the sale of marijuana for any purpose. Unauthorized cannabis sales operations face criminal prosecution including felony charges for distribution. CBD products derived from hemp with less than 0.3% THC may be sold through regular retail channels.
Any cannabis sales: felony charges. Distribution penalties vary by quantity. Property used for sales may be subject to forfeiture.
