Texas prohibits all personal cannabis cultivation; even a single home plant violates state controlled-substances law, and Arlington has no separate ordinance because state law forbids the activity entirely.
Under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 481, marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance and any cultivation by an unlicensed person is a felony. There is no Texas allowance for personal home grow, unlike Colorado or California. The Compassionate Use Program does not allow patients to grow; only licensed dispensing organizations may cultivate. Arlington police treat home grows as state criminal matters and may execute search warrants when probable cause exists. Hemp cultivation under 0.3 percent THC is allowed only with a Texas Department of Agriculture license and is not the same as marijuana cultivation.
Possession of marijuana plants is a state felony with penalties scaling by weight; cultivation operations can also trigger civil asset forfeiture.
