Full Breakdown
Texas does not allow recreational or medical home cultivation of cannabis. Under Tex. Health & Safety Code Section 481.121, possession of marijuana in any amount is a criminal offense, and cultivation is treated as manufacture or possession with intent to deliver depending on plant weight. Even hobby-scale cultivation can constitute a state-jail felony (4 oz to 5 lb) or a third-degree felony (over 5 lb). Cedar Hill police and Dallas County prosecutors enforce these laws; a city ordinance is not required because state criminal statutes apply directly. The Texas Compassionate Use Program (low-THC cannabis) is dispensed only by licensed dispensing organizations and does not authorize patient or caregiver home growing under any circumstance.
