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

Texas TCUP Licensed 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). 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.

Who are the 3 active TCUP dispensing organizations in Texas?

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

Who are the 9 Phase I conditional licensees?

The Phase I expansion under HB 46 was announced by Texas DPS on December 1, 2025. Nine conditional licensees were selected from the application pool. 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 Phase I licensees are currently authorized to dispense.

Who are the 3 Phase II conditional licensees?

Texas DPS announced the Phase II selections on April 1, 2026, completing the HB 46 target of 12 new licenses. Like Phase I, these three are conditional licensees and cannot dispense until DPS grants final approval. Per the DPS announcement: "The announcement of these three businesses today does not guarantee that these businesses will be issued final TCUP licenses to operate as dispensing organizations."

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 HSC §169.001 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 conditions added under HB 46. The medical marijuana dispensaries in Texas post covers the clinic-versus-dispensary distinction and what TCUP dispensaries sell.
