Heavy Restrictions

Home cultivation of marijuana is illegal in Texas. Texas law prohibits growing cannabis at home, and cultivation is punished based on the aggregate weight of plants found, with penalties matching possession charges. Dallas voters approved Proposition R (the Dallas Freedom Act) in November 2024 to decriminalize possession of up to 4 ounces, but this does not legalize cultivation. The measure is currently stayed pending legal challenges from the Texas Attorney General on state preemption grounds.
