Texas Health and Safety Code §161.0815 makes it illegal to sell cigarettes, e-cigarettes, or tobacco products to anyone under 21 in Frisco, with a narrow exemption for active-duty military members born before September 1, 2001.
Effective September 1, 2019, Texas raised the minimum legal sales age for tobacco and e-cigarette products to 21 under HSC §161.0815, codifying the Tobacco 21 standard before the federal change later that year. The law applies to all Frisco retailers including convenience stores, vape shops, and grocery checkouts. Retailers must check ID for anyone appearing under 30. A statutory exemption preserves age 18 access for active-duty military members born before September 1, 2001, but that cohort is increasingly small. Frisco PD and the Texas Comptroller's tobacco enforcement division both perform compliance checks.
Sales to underage buyers can result in HSC §161.082 penalties up to $500 per violation for retailers, plus permit suspension or revocation through the Texas Comptroller. Repeat violations escalate to longer suspensions and clerk-specific charges.
