Texas prohibits all personal cannabis cultivation. Growing even one plant violates TX Health and Safety Code Section 481.120, treated as possession with intent to deliver based on plant weight. Dallas County cannot authorize home cultivation, and no patient or hobby grow exception exists under state law.
Unlike Colorado, California, or Michigan, Texas grants no personal cultivation right to adults or registered medical patients. H&S Code Section 481.120 treats marijuana plants as marijuana for possession-with-intent-to-deliver weight calculations once cured, while live plants can also trigger Section 481.121 possession charges. Even Compassionate Use Program patients cannot home-grow; only the three licensed dispensing organizations may cultivate. Dallas County Sheriff investigates cultivation in unincorporated areas, and Dallas County DA prosecutes. Indoor grow operations may also trigger county fire marshal violations under International Fire Code adopted countywide and electrical-permit issues if discovered during inspection. The county has no authority to legalize any home grow under home-rule or general-law county powers.
Cultivating any amount is a Class B misdemeanor to first-degree felony under TX H&S 481.120 based on weight: under 2 oz is up to 180 days jail; over 2,000 lb triggers life imprisonment. Prosecuted by Dallas County DA.
