San Antonio Cannabis Regulations: Personal Cultivation Limits Rules (2026)

Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 481 classifies marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance and treats cultivation as manufacture of a controlled substance. Unlike Colorado, California, or New Mexico, Texas authorizes no personal home grow, no caregiver grow, and no medical home cultivation, even for patients enrolled in the narrow Compassionate Use Program. The Compassionate Use Program licenses three statewide dispensing organizations to cultivate low-THC cannabis for qualifying patients, with no provision for individuals to grow at home. San Antonio cannot opt out of state preemption and has no municipal cultivation permit. SAPD and Bexar County Sheriff continue to enforce manufacturing statutes, although District Attorney charging policies for low-level possession have evolved.
