Texas does not allow recreational or personal-use cannabis cultivation. Growing marijuana plants in a Corpus Christi home is a state criminal offense under the Texas Health and Safety Code, regardless of plant count.
Texas has not legalized recreational cannabis. The state Compassionate Use Program permits only low-THC products dispensed by licensed Compassionate Use dispensaries to enrolled patients with qualifying conditions. Cultivation of any marijuana plant by a private resident is prohibited by Texas Health and Safety Code chapter 481. Corpus Christi has no separate ordinance authorizing home grows because state law fully preempts the field. Possession of usable marijuana and possession of marijuana plants are charged as separate offenses with penalties scaling by aggregate weight or count, including potential felony exposure for larger plant counts.
Cultivating marijuana in Corpus Christi can be charged under state law as possession of a controlled substance or manufacture of marijuana, with class-A misdemeanor through felony exposure depending on quantity.
