Texas Hemp Rules Finalized: What It Means for Your Business and Your Wallet

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has finalized rules for consumable hemp products, mandating age 21 sales and ID checks for TABC-licensed businesses. This action follows an executive order from Governor Abbott after legislative gridlock, with the Department of State Health Services also setting rules for other retailers, including a significant fee increase. The longevity of these state regulations remains uncertain due to an upcoming federal ban on most consumable hemp products.
