Texas prohibits personal cannabis cultivation entirely; Travis County cannot authorize home grows because Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 481 makes any plant possession a state criminal offense regardless of amount.
Texas has no recreational legalization and no personal home-grow allowance. Under TX HSC Chapter 481, marijuana plants are considered usable marijuana by aggregate weight and possession of any amount is a criminal offense; cultivation and manufacture carry separate enhanced penalties under HSC 481.119 and 481.120. Travis County, like all Texas counties, lacks authority to permit personal cultivation. Even Compassionate Use Program patients cannot home-grow; they must obtain low-THC product only from a state-licensed dispensing organization. Travis County cite-and-release applies to misdemeanor possession but not cultivation charges, which are typically felonies.
Cultivating cannabis in Travis County is a state criminal offense. Penalty severity scales with plant count and weight, ranging from state jail felony to first-degree felony under TX HSC 481.120.
