Smokable hemp product provisions
The adopted rules carry provisions specific to smokable hemp products. This record states that the provisions exist and are in effect; it does not summarize their scope, because that summary has not been verified against the rule text.
[Pending verification] The scope of the smokable hemp provisions — and how they interact with earlier smokable-hemp litigation history — is pending counsel verification. The provisions' substance is deliberately not summarized until then. Added 2026-09-20: the litigation field now carries the regulator's own published sentence on the injunction, which is the history this note was flagging; the court order behind it still has not been read and counsel verification remains open.
- Primary source
- 25 TAC Chapter 300 (smokable hemp provisions); Texas Health & Safety Code ch. 443Texas Administrative Code, Title 25, Chapter 300 (Secretary of State rules portal)
- Effective status
- In effect — March 31, 2026 (adopted DSHS rules).
- Enforcement
- In force. No stay or injunction against the Chapter 300 smokable hemp provisions as such was identified in this review. That is a statement about the Chapter 300 provisions only; it is not a statement about the separate statutory manufacturing prohibition, which carries its own injunction history — see the litigation field.

- Court proceedings
- DSHS states on its Consumable Hemp Program page, under the item recording that the Texas Supreme Court upheld Health & Safety Code §443.204(4) on 2022-06-24, prohibiting "the processing or manufacturing of a consumable hemp product for smoking": "At the same time, the lower court's injunction remains, which allows the distribution and retail sale of consumable hemp products for smoking." Read 2026-09-20. That is the agency's own characterization on its own programme page. The underlying court order was NOT read, no cause number is confirmed here, and this record does not restate it as a holding, does not say which products it reaches, and asserts no enforcement posture in either direction. Recorded because this record previously carried no litigation entry at all while the regulator published one.
