Recreational and medical cannabis dispensaries are prohibited throughout Texas. Only three state-licensed TCUP organizations may dispense low-THC products, none of which are located in Universal City.
Universal City zoning does not permit cannabis dispensaries because such operations are not legal under Texas law. Texas has no recreational marijuana program, and the only legal distribution of cannabis products is through the Texas Compassionate Use Program administered by the Department of Public Safety. TCUP authorizes a small number of Dispensing Organizations statewide to sell low-THC cannabis products limited to one percent THC by weight to patients with qualifying conditions registered by a certified physician. These dispensing organizations operate from state-licensed locations, and delivery rather than storefront sales serves most of the state including the San Antonio metropolitan area. Any retail establishment in Universal City advertising or selling THC products exceeding the hemp threshold of 0.3 percent Delta-9 THC by dry weight is operating illegally and subject to enforcement by state and federal authorities. Hemp-derived CBD retail is permitted subject to Texas Department of State Health Services consumable hemp registration. Delta-8 THC products are in legal dispute under state court injunctions.
