Understanding COAs
What a Certificate of Analysis actually says, the 12 things Texas requires on it, and the red flags that should stop a product at the door.
8 min
Product Labels
Direct answer: a Texas consumable hemp label needs eight specific pieces of information, five verbatim warnings, and packaging that is tamper-evident and child-resistant — required by 25 TAC §§300.402–407 (effective March 31, 2026) and HSC §443.205. This lesson gives you the exact lists and a two-minute review to check any label against them.
6 min
Texas Retail Hemp Registration
What the DSHS Retail Hemp Registration costs, who needs one, how to apply and renew it, and what happens if you sell without one.
6 min
Age Verification
Texas requires an ID check for every consumable hemp sale — not just customers who look young. What counts as valid ID, what happens when a sale goes wrong, and how to run a check that protects the store.

7 min
Total Delta-9 THC Math
Which THC number decides legality in Texas today, the 0.877 conversion straight from the rule, worked examples you can redo on a calculator, and why a product that passes delta-9-only math can still fail.
6 min
COA Expiration & Retesting
Do hemp COAs expire in Texas? Yes — and the rule says exactly what that means. What §300.301(f) requires when a COA expires, what retesting involves, and how to run expiry dates as a calendar discipline instead of an inspection surprise.
6 min
Lot & Batch Traceability
What a lot actually is under the Texas hemp rules, why the batch number on the label has to match the lot number on the COA, and how lot identity runs through records, inspections, and recalls.
6 min
Texas Retail Hemp Registration
What the DSHS Retail Hemp Registration costs, who needs one, how to apply and renew it, and what happens if you sell without one.
6 min
Age Verification
Texas requires an ID check for every consumable hemp sale — not just customers who look young. What counts as valid ID, what happens when a sale goes wrong, and how to run a check that protects the store.
6 min
Record Retention
How long must a Texas hemp retailer keep records? For test results, the rule answers directly: at least three years from the date you receive them — and it names retailers. For most other records, the rule is silent for retailers, and this lesson keeps the line between rule and practice honest.
7 min
Recalls & Product Holds
What the Texas rules actually require when a product is recalled — who must have recall procedures, what to do when a recall notice reaches your store, and how your own holds differ from a DSHS embargo tag.
8 min
Receiving Products From Vendors
The operational intake lesson: what a Texas hemp retailer checks before a delivery goes from the back door to the shelf — the vendor, the paperwork, the COA, the label, and the packaging — and what to do when something doesn't clear.
