Texas Medical Cannabis Program: 12 New Dispensaries
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has officially opened the application process to expand the Texas Medical Cannabis Program, with 12 new dispensing licenses available for qualified operators. This move could dramatically improve patient access to low-THC cannabis treatments in a state that still maintains one of the most restrictive medical marijuana systems in the nation.
The application period for the Texas Medical Cannabis Program closes on September 15 at 5 p.m. CT. The expansion is being implemented in two phases under House Bill 46. Phase I will award nine licenses to existing applicants, with winners to be announced on December 1. Phase II will grant three licenses to first-time applicants, with selections revealed by April 1, 2026.
Current applicants from the 2023 cycle must update their submissions via DPS's secure portal to remain eligible for the Texas Medical Cannabis Program. According to DPS, "Failure to update an application will result in automatic disqualification from the competitive selection process." No additional fees will be charged for updates, but applicants seeking refunds must withdraw by August 15.
New applicants hoping to participate in the Texas Medical Cannabis Program will need to pay standard application fees and ensure their submissions are complete before the September deadline. Incomplete applications will be automatically disqualified.
