Full Breakdown
Texas has not legalized recreational or personal-use marijuana cultivation. Under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 481, marijuana remains a controlled substance, and cultivating any amount is a criminal offense. Cultivation of less than 4 ounces is a Class A or Class B misdemeanor depending on weight; larger amounts trigger felony charges with years of prison time. Texas has a limited Compassionate Use Program that allows licensed dispensing organizations (not individuals) to produce low-THC cannabis for patients with qualifying conditions. Home cultivation by patients is not permitted under the program. CBD products derived from federally legal hemp (less than 0.3 percent THC) are legal to possess but require licensing to cultivate commercially. Converse enforces state drug laws through the Converse Police Department and cooperates with Bexar County prosecutors. A few Texas cities have adopted cite-and-release policies for low-level possession, but cultivation remains strictly enforced.
