Texas Health and Safety Code section 481.121 makes any marijuana cultivation a criminal offense in Harris County. Even a single plant is illegal. The Compassionate Use Program lets only three licensed dispensers grow medical low-THC cannabis. Personal cultivation carries felony penalties countywide.
Texas Health and Safety Code chapter 481 classifies marijuana as a controlled substance, and section 481.121 makes possession of any usable amount a criminal offense, with two ounces or less a Class B misdemeanor and larger amounts climbing to felony. Cultivation is treated as manufacture and possession of usable plant material. Even a single mature plant typically exceeds two ounces, triggering felony exposure. The Compassionate Use Program under chapter 487 lets only three licensed dispensing organizations cultivate medical cannabis. Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg deprioritizes low-level prosecutions, but cultivation remains chargeable. Hemp under Health and Safety Code chapter 122 is legal only at federally compliant levels by licensed farmers.
Cultivating a single mature marijuana plant typically constitutes manufacture and possession of more than four ounces, triggering a state-jail felony under Health and Safety Code 481.121, with fines up to ten thousand dollars and six months to two years imprisonment.
