Texas Kratom and Hemp Laws
Texas regulates kratom rather than banning it. Below is where the law actually stands right now, what changed, and what is still open.
Last reviewed 29 July 2026Yes, you can legally buy kratom in Texas. Kratom is not a controlled substance under Texas law. It is regulated by the Texas Kratom Consumer Health and Safety Protection Act, in Chapter 444 of the Health and Safety Code, which took effect on 1 September 2023.
That law sets rules rather than a prohibition. Products must be labeled and tested, sales to minors are prohibited, and processed kratom is capped at 2 percent 7-hydroxymitragynine. Every CBD Kratom store in Texas is 21+.
What the Texas kratom law actually requires.
Legal, and regulated
Kratom is not on the Texas Controlled Substances Act. It is governed by Health and Safety Code Chapter 444.
Tested and labeled
Registered products must carry ingredient and alkaloid labeling, and be capped at 2 percent 7-hydroxymitragynine.
21+ at our stores
State law sets a minimum of 18. CBD Kratom sets its own bar at 21 and verifies age in store and at checkout.
Where the legislation stands
Senate Bill 1868 is the bill people are searching for. It would have added kratom to the Texas Controlled Substances Act. It passed the Senate on 24 April 2025 and was referred to the House Public Health Committee on 28 April 2025, where it saw no further action before the 89th Legislature adjourned on 2 June 2025. It did not become law.
Texas holds regular legislative sessions every two years, so the next opportunity for a bill like it is the session beginning in January 2027. We will update this page if that changes.
Kratom: SB 1868 did not pass
THC: SB 3 was vetoed
Vapes: SB 2024 is law
Three different Texas laws, three different answers
Most confusion about a Texas ban comes from three separate bills being discussed at once.
Kratom. Legal and regulated under Chapter 444. SB 1868 would have changed that and did not pass.
Hemp-derived THC. Senate Bill 3 would have banned most hemp-derived THC products. Governor Abbott vetoed it on 22 June 2025, so those products remain available in Texas.
Vapes. Senate Bill 2024 did become law and took effect on 1 September 2025. It restricts which vaping products may be sold at retail in Texas, including cannabinoid vapes and certain imported disposables. This is the one change on this page that genuinely affects what is on our Texas shelves.
Like caffeine and sugar, kratom may be habit-forming. Use kratom responsibly and only as directed. This page is general information about state law, not legal advice.

Texas kratom and hemp law, answered
The questions we get asked most in our Texas stores.
Texas law
Yes. Kratom is legal to buy and possess in Texas and is not listed on the Texas Controlled Substances Act. It is regulated under the Texas Kratom Consumer Health and Safety Protection Act, Health and Safety Code Chapter 444, effective 1 September 2023, which requires labeling and testing and prohibits sales to minors.
No. Senate Bill 1868 would have added kratom to the Texas Controlled Substances Act. It passed the Senate on 24 April 2025, went to the House Public Health Committee on 28 April 2025, and saw no further action before the session ended on 2 June 2025, so it did not become law. The next regular session begins in January 2027.
State law sets the minimum at 18. CBD Kratom requires you to be 21 or older, and we verify age in store and at checkout.
Senate Bill 3 would have banned most hemp-derived THC products in Texas. Governor Abbott vetoed it on 22 June 2025, so hemp-derived THC products remain available here.
Senate Bill 2024 took effect on 1 September 2025 and restricts which vaping products can be sold at retail in Texas, including cannabinoid vapes and certain imported disposable devices. It regulates what retailers may sell rather than criminalizing personal possession. Our Texas stores stock only what the law allows.
The short version
Kratom is legal in Texas and regulated, not banned. Hemp-derived THC survived a veto. Vape retail rules did change. We keep this page current as bills move, and our Texas staff can walk you through what is on the shelf today.
