Summary
Growing marijuana at home is illegal everywhere in Texas, including unincorporated Williamson County. Possessing usable marijuana is a crime under Health and Safety Code Section 481.121, starting at a Class B misdemeanor for two ounces or less.
Except as authorized by this chapter, a person commits an offense if the person knowingly or intentionally possesses a usable quantity of marihuana.
Full Breakdown
Texas has no legal recreational or home-grow cannabis. Marijuana is a controlled substance, and Health and Safety Code Section 481.121 makes knowing or intentional possession of a usable quantity an offense, ranging from a Class B misdemeanor for two ounces or less up to a first-degree felony for large amounts. Cultivating plants means possessing marijuana, so a home grow is prosecuted the same way. The only lawful cannabis is low-THC medical product dispensed under the Compassionate Use Program in Chapter 487, which does not authorize patients to grow their own.
Violations & Fines
Possession of two ounces or less is a Class B misdemeanor punishable by up to 180 days in jail and a $2,000 fine; larger amounts escalate to felonies with prison time.
