The Business of Cannabis

Texas Court Weighs Whether Smokable Hemp Can Stay On Shelves After Friday

Apr 30, 2026 | National

A court fight in Austin this week could determine whether Texans can keep buying cannabis flower, pre-rolls and concentrates sold under the state’s hemp laws.

The products are back on store shelves for now because of a temporary court order set to expire Friday at 5 p.m.

But Texas hemp businesses are asking Travis County’s 261st Civil District Court to issue a longer-lasting injunction that would keep parts of the state’s new hemp rules on hold while their lawsuit against state health regulators plays out. The lawsuit could take years to resolve.
