It is estimated there may be more than 20,000 retailers in Texas selling consumable hemp products, but less than half are properly registered with the State.
Most retailers in Texas have no idea that they are required to be properly registered with the health department in order to sell consumable hemp products. This includes products such as edibles, beverages, gummies, tinctures, pre-rolls, flower, concentrates, and even topicals (yes, including hemp-cannabinoid lotions). This requirement does not apply to hemp-seed derived products that are generally recognized as safe by the FDA.
This registration requirement applies to all hemp-derived CBD (cannabidiol), CBG and CBN products as well as all hemp-derived THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) products, including impairable cannabinoid products such as Delta-8 THC, Delta-9 THC, HHC, THCA, THCV, THCP, THCJD and any other derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, so long as the Delta-9 THC concentration levels do not exceed 0.3% on a dry weight basis.
The requirement also applies to e-commerce businesses who sell consumable hemp products to customers in Texas, regardless of whether the business has a physical location in Texas.
Violations can result in administrative penalties for EACH DAY operating without a proper license.
