flag Texas bans THC sales to under-21s at licensed alcohol venues starting Oct. 1, citing youth access concerns.

flag Texas has banned the sale of THC products to anyone under 21, effective October 1, following an emergency rule by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) requiring ID verification at licensed alcohol establishments. flag The rule, prompted by Governor Greg Abbott’s executive order, applies only to about 60,000 businesses with liquor licenses, such as bars and liquor stores, leaving other retailers like gas stations and online sellers outside its scope. flag The temporary measure lasts up to 180 days while the state develops permanent regulations. flag TABC cited concerns over minors accessing THC products and emphasized public health and safety. flag Violations could result in license revocation. flag The Texas Department of State Health Services will create separate rules for non-licensed retailers. flag Industry leaders generally support the age limit, comparing it to alcohol regulations, while calling for clearer guidelines on locations near schools and parks.
