- The Texas Senate has passed legislation that prohibits all forms of THC in hemp products, which is a key priority for Lt. Governor Dan Patrick.
- Senate Bill 3 aims to ban products containing any level of THC, including edibles and beverages, as a response to the rapid growth of the state's hemp market.
- Supporters assert that THC products pose health risks, while opponents caution that such a ban could fuel illegal market activity and jeopardize the industry.
- Additional regulatory proposals are currently under consideration in the Texas House, where a different bill seeks to implement stricter regulations rather than an outright ban.

- Governor Greg Abbott vetoed a total ban on consumable THC products and called for a special session to focus on regulation.
- The rejected bill aimed to prohibit all edible hemp products containing any THC, including delta-8 and delta-9 variants.
- Abbott cited constitutional challenges and federal law conflicts, warning the ban would likely fail in court and delay safety solutions.
- Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick strongly opposed the veto, as the ban was among his top legislative priorities over 17 years.
Texas must enact a regulatory framework that protects public safety, aligns with federal law, has a fully funded enforcement structure and can take effect without delay.— Greg Abbott stated this in a statement explaining his veto.
