Home cannabis cultivation is illegal throughout Montgomery County and Texas. Growing any amount is a state felony under Health & Safety Code §481.120. Only CBD under Compassionate Use is permitted.
Texas Health & Safety Code §481.120 classifies cultivation of marijuana as manufacture of a controlled substance — a second-degree felony for any amount over 4 ounces (2 to 20 years prison, $10,000 fine), state jail felony for 4 ounces or less (180 days to 2 years). There is no exemption for personal or medical use. The Texas Compassionate Use Program (TCUP) allows low-THC (under 1%) cannabis only through licensed dispensaries — patients cannot grow their own. Montgomery County Sheriff and Conroe Police actively enforce; Conroe is not a decriminalization jurisdiction. Federal law (Controlled Substances Act) adds overlapping prohibition. Hemp (under 0.3% THC) cultivation requires TDA license under Agriculture Code Ch. 121 and is limited to registered producers, not homeowners.
Under 4 oz cultivation: state jail felony, 180 days to 2 years jail, up to $10,000. Over 4 oz: 2nd degree felony, 2-20 years. Over 5 lbs: 1st degree felony, 5-99 years. Property forfeiture possible.
