Medical THC companies successfully banned THC in TX, not liquor. When retail THC became legal, 3 medical THC companies took a huge loss, which prompted them spend $1.5m on lobbyists who had served in Abbott’s and Dan Patrick’s offices. (Links in article)

THBC has filed a lawsuit to challenge rules that threaten compliant businesses and overstep legal authority.
These rules don’t just tighten regulation–they rewrite the law.
This is about more than hemp. It’s about accountability, fair regulation & protecting Texas business.

Opposition to Proposed Hemp Rules 26R008
Body of email:
Dear Texas DSHS,
I oppose the over regulation of hemp that will cause closures. Redefining the definition of hemp will outlaw the hemp flower and destroy the industry. Combined with a 13000% fee increase will certainly close small business. I do agree with age gate to 21, proper packaging and safety testing. Please take a pause on the strategic banning of natural hemp flower and exorbitant fee schedule for Texas mom and pop shops. Thank you!
Stay warm/ talk soon
Texas hemp businesses face a potential 10,000% licensing fee increase. Small businesses argue this favors corporations, threatens local jobs, and undermines the intent of Governor Abbott's veto. @GregAbbott_TX#TexasHemp#SmallBusiness

Proposed regulations threaten to shut down shops, impacting employees and families. 80% of sales are natural hemp flower, but total THC rules could wipe that out. Many customers, including veterans, depend on it. #HempFlower#Regulation
🚨 TEXAS HEMP ALERT – LAST CHANCE! 🚨
DSHS wants to hit us with $20k+ fees per store + testing changes that could ban most THCA flower.
