COA content requirements for consumable hemp products
The adopted DSHS rules set out the required contents of a certificate of analysis for consumable hemp products as a condition of sale in Texas. Section 300.301(d) names twelve fields, among them laboratory identification and contact information, sample and lot identification, analytical methods and instrumentation with limits of detection and quantitation, an expiration date, measurement of uncertainty analysis parameters, a QR code verifying the authenticity of testing at an accredited laboratory, and results reporting delta-9 THC, total delta-9 THC, and total THC per container.

In effect — March 31, 2026, adopted DSHS rules filed with the Secretary of State March 2, 2026 (TRD-202601066).
Enforcement
In force. No stay or injunction against the COA content requirements as such was identified in this review. The total delta-9 THC threshold is recorded separately below because its posture is different; §300.301(d) is the certificate-of-analysis field set and carries no threshold of its own.
