Texas TCUP Licensed Dispensaries: Active and Conditional Licensees Under HB 46

TCUP Texas Dispensaries at a Glance

The Texas Compassionate Use Program operates under HSC Chapter 487. The Texas Department of Public Safety licenses every dispensing organization in the state. After HB 46 of the 89th Legislature expanded the program from 3 licenses to 15, two phases of new selections were announced: Phase I on December 1, 2025 (9 conditional licensees) and Phase II on April 1, 2026 (3 conditional licensees). On May 8, 2026 DPS corrected its score tabulation, which replaced three of the 12. On May 8, 2026 DPS corrected its score tabulation, which replaced three of the 12. Only the original 3 dispensing organizations are currently active; the 12 new licensees hold conditional licenses and cannot dispense until DPS grants final approval. This page lists each licensee by entity name, operating brand, and Public Health Region, with the DPS source for every row. The active-licensee roster was verified against the Texas DPS Licensed Dispensaries page on September 2, 2026, which still shows the same 3 active licenses.

Who are the 3 active TCUP dispensing organizations in Texas?

Three dispensing organizations are operationally active under the Texas Compassionate Use Program as of September 2026. Each holds a full TCUP license and is authorized to fill prescriptions entered into the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT). Patients can select any of the three to fill a Texas TCUP prescription.

Who are the 12 conditional licensees?

Texas DPS announced 9 Phase I conditional licensees on December 1, 2025 and 3 Phase II conditional licensees on April 1, 2026. On May 8, 2026 DPS corrected its score tabulation. The conditional licenses of Story of Texas, Texas Medica Collective and Cresco Labs Texas were rescinded and those companies moved to the eligibility list, and Bluebonnet Technologies, Sawtooth Texas and Bayou City Medical Dispensary were conditionally awarded instead. The table below is the corrected list. Per DPS: "Conditional licenses do not grant the applicant permission to cultivate, manufacture, distribute or sell cannabis products until final approval by the department." None of the 12 is currently authorized to dispense.

Where can you pick up a TCUP prescription in Texas?

TCUP dispensing organizations are not assigned by patient residence. Any patient with a current CURT prescription may use any active licensee that serves their address, by pickup or by scheduled delivery. All three operate statewide delivery, so the table below governs pickup, not eligibility.

Pickup rosters change as licensees open and close sites, so each licensee's own location list is the authority for its current sites. This table was verified against those three sources on September 2, 2026. It records which metros each licensee reaches, not a complete address roster.

What does conditional versus active mean for patients?

Only the 3 active dispensing organizations can fill a TCUP prescription today. The 12 conditional licensees from Phase I and Phase II hold pre-authorization from DPS but have not received final approval. Texas DPS has not announced operational dates for the new licensees. Conditional-to-final timing depends on facility build-out, inspection, and DPS due-diligence completion for each licensee individually.

A patient with a current Compassionate Use Registry of Texas prescription should select from the 3 active organizations: Fluent, Texas Original, or Goodblend. Each operates statewide pickup and delivery routes. The TX DPS Licensed Dispensaries page carries the canonical operational list and should be checked before any pickup or delivery is scheduled, since operational status changes as conditional licensees complete the approval process.

How does this relate to Miracle Leaf® Texas clinics?

Miracle Leaf® is a Texas medical marijuana clinic, not a dispensing organization. A Texas Miracle Leaf® physician evaluates a prospective patient for a qualifying condition under Occupations Code §169.003 and, if eligible, enters a prescription into the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas. The patient then fills the prescription at one of the 3 active TCUP-licensed dispensing organizations. The clinic step and the dispensary step are sequential and separate roles in the state framework.

The Texas TCUP prescription page covers the clinic-side process. The Texas qualifying conditions page covers each of the 15 qualifying conditions, including the four HB 46 added. The medical marijuana dispensaries in Texas post covers the clinic-versus-dispensary distinction and what TCUP dispensaries sell.
