Cannabis home cultivation is illegal in Texas. TX HSC Chapter 481 classifies marijuana as a Schedule I substance. No county exception. Possession of any amount is a criminal offense. Medical cannabis limited to low-THC under Compassionate Use Act.
Home cultivation of cannabis is illegal in unincorporated Dallas County under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 481 (Texas Controlled Substances Act). Marijuana remains classified as a Schedule I controlled substance in Texas. Possession of any amount is a criminal offense. There is no home cultivation allowance for personal use. The Texas Compassionate Use Act allows limited low-THC cannabis (under 1% THC) to be prescribed to qualifying patients, but only through licensed dispensing organizations, not home cultivation. Note: Dallas city voters approved a decriminalization measure in 2024, but this applies within city limits only, not in unincorporated Dallas County.
TX HSC Section 481.121: Possession under 2 oz is Class B misdemeanor (up to 180 days jail, $2,000 fine). 2-4 oz: Class A misdemeanor. Cultivation penalties based on aggregate weight.
