Yes. The Texas Compassionate Use Program (TCUP) lets registered physicians prescribe low-THC cannabis to patients with qualifying conditions. House Bill 46, effective September 1, 2025, expanded the program to cover chronic pain, traumatic brain injury, Crohn’s disease, and terminal illness, and authorized up to 15 licensed dispensing organizations statewide.

No. Texas does not issue patient cards. Your doctor enters a prescription directly into the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT), and licensed dispensaries verify you by name and date of birth at pickup or delivery.

Yes, for TCUP patients. House Bill 46 legalized vape and aerosol products in the program, so licensed dispensaries now sell real THC cartridges that are legal to buy and possess with a prescription. The 10mg cap people hear about is a per-dose serving limit, not the size of the cartridge: a half-gram cart is 85 to 90% THC distillate, roughly 425 to 450mg in total, and a 10mg dose is two or three pulls off it. One detail that matters: ask your physician to write the pulmonary inhalation route into your CURT prescription, or the dispensary can’t sell you a cart. Smokable flower remains prohibited, and as of 2026 delta-8 and THCA carts from smoke shops are a felony to possess. A TCUP prescription is the only legal way to own a cart in Texas.

Yes. Telemedicine evaluations are legal statewide. You book a video visit with a TCUP-registered physician, and if you qualify, the prescription goes into CURT the same day in many cases. From there you can pick up in person at a licensed dispensary pickup location (often the same day) or have your order delivered to most Texas addresses.

Three things separate them, and price is the least useful of the three. First, whether the quoted fee covers the whole year of follow-ups or just the first appointment. Second, whether the physician will write pulmonary inhalation into your CURT prescription, which is what unlocks vape cartridges at the dispensary. Third, how fast they actually submit to the registry, since some services book the visit in an hour and others in four days. Our comparison table breaks these out per provider.

Not necessarily, but read what the number buys. The low advertised prices are usually the initial visit alone, with the follow-up visits and any prescription amendment billed on top. A $199 service that includes twelve months of follow-ups is frequently cheaper by month three than a $99 one that does not. Ask two questions before paying: what is included for a full year, and what is the refund if I am not approved.

Same-day is genuinely possible and it happens regularly, but it needs three things to line up: an appointment slot today, a physician who submits to CURT immediately after the call, and a licensed pickup location near you with stock. If any of those slips, you are looking at delivery in two to four days instead. Budget a week and be pleasantly surprised.

Yes. Telemedicine is legal statewide, so the evaluation half of this is identical whether you are in Midland or Montrose. What differs is fulfillment: pickup locations cluster in metros, and everywhere else runs on dispensary delivery, which reaches most Texas addresses. Rural patients in this program are delivery patients, and that has been true since 2015.

A Texas ID, a device with a working camera, a list of your current medications, and a rough timeline of your condition, meaning roughly when it started and what you have tried. Medical records are helpful but not required, because the TCUP physician can make the qualifying diagnosis themselves. Do the visit somewhere you can hear and be heard, and be somewhere in Texas when you take the call.

CURT is a Department of Public Safety registry that prescribing physicians and licensed dispensaries use to verify patients. It is not public, and an employer cannot search it. What is not protected is a drug test: Texas gives patients no employment protection, and a legal prescription does not stop a positive result from costing you a job. The registry is private. Your urine is not.

When you book through one of the links here, the telehealth service pays us a referral fee. It does not change your price. It also does not buy anyone a better write-up: providers are ordered by what we think serves a Texas patient, and where a service falls short we say so on its own row. We would rather be the page you come back to than the page that got one click out of you.
