Your wellness routine stays with you.

If you're a CBD Kratom customer in Texas, you may have heard about new state regulations affecting hemp-derived products. We want to make sure you have clear, accurate information about what's changing, what isn't, and how to keep your wellness routine uninterrupted.

The short version: new Texas DSHS rules going into effect March 31, 2026 are changing how certain hemp products are regulated at the retail level. But your ability to purchase, own, and use these products is not going away.

The key takeaway: It is completely legal for Texans to own and use hemp-derived products. The new regulations affect how retail stores sell certain items in person. Shipping directly to your home remains fully legal and available.

Ship-to-Home: Still 100% Legal

The new Texas regulations affect how brick-and-mortar stores sell certain hemp products. They do not affect your right as a Texas resident to purchase these products online and have them delivered to your home.

CBD Kratom ships nationwide from facilities that comply with all applicable federal and state laws. When you order from shopcbdkratom.com, your products are shipped directly to you, and that process is unaffected by the March 31 regulatory changes.

If there's a product you rely on for your daily routine, ordering online is the simplest way to make sure you always have it on hand.

Important distinction: These regulations apply to how retail stores sell certain hemp products in person. It remains completely legal for Texas residents to purchase hemp-derived products online and have them shipped to their home.

Lock In Your Routine With Subscribe & Save

Never run out. Subscribe to your go-to products and they'll ship to you automatically on your schedule. Subscriptions will continue uninterrupted after March 31.

Subscribe & Save: Set up automatic deliveries for the products you use regularly. Your subscription ships on your schedule, and you can adjust, pause, or cancel at any time. This is the easiest way to make sure your wellness routine stays consistent, regardless of any changes at the retail level.

What's Changing in Texas

The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) has introduced new rules for consumable hemp products. Starting March 31, 2026, these regulations update how Total THC is calculated and introduce new licensing requirements for retailers.

What this means at the store level: some product categories may be affected by the updated compliance standards. Retail locations across Texas are adapting their shelves to align with the new rules.

What this does not mean: the products themselves are not illegal to own, purchase online, or use. The regulations primarily affect in-store retail operations and licensing, not individual consumers.

Supporting Texas Hemp Businesses

The new regulations don't just affect consumers. Small hemp retailers across Texas are facing a 3,000% increase in licensing fees and new compliance requirements that threaten to close their doors.

Our parent company, MNG Brands, has launched the Texas Hemp Retailer Relief Grant: $50,000 in recovery support for Texas hemp businesses, including license fee reimbursement credits and an inventory transition program.

We believe a thriving hemp community benefits everyone: retailers, consumers, and the broader wellness movement. If you know a Texas hemp business that could use support, share this with them.
