Program Overview

About the Texas program

Texas certifications run under Tex. Health and Safety Code Ch. 487, the Texas Compassionate Use Program (TCUP).
Texas Department of Public Safety

Miracle Leaf® is a medical cannabis certification clinic network serving patients across Texas. Our Texas physicians provide evaluations for the Texas Compassionate Use Program under Health and Safety Code Chapter 487. Each Miracle Leaf® clinic is a doctor's office for program certification, not a retail storefront where cannabis is sold.

Texas runs a physician-prescription program rather than a patient-card program. A registered physician must enter a prescription into the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas before a patient can fill it at a licensed dispensing organization. Miracle Leaf provides that physician evaluation and prescription step, and telehealth is supported for many visits.

How does the Texas Compassionate Use Program work?

Under Health and Safety Code Chapter 487, the Texas Department of Public Safety administers the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas. A registered physician reviews your medical history, determines whether you meet a qualifying condition, and, if appropriate, enters a prescription into the registry. There is no separate patient application, no state registration fee, and no mailed state card. The prescription itself is the access credential.

Texas authorizes low THC cannabis only. Approved forms include oils, tinctures, capsules, lozenges, patches, lotions, suppositories, and vaporized products for non-smoked pulmonary inhalation. Smokable flower is not permitted, and the THC content carries a dose-based limit (up to 10 mg of THC per dose, with no package or inhalation device exceeding 1 gram of total THC) under HB 46 of 2025. The clinic does not dispense or sell any product. The dispensing organization is a separate, state-licensed business.

For the full list of conditions that qualify a patient and how the program compares with a traditional medical card, see Texas qualifying conditions. For the clinic-side steps from booking through pickup, see the Texas TCUP prescription page.

What is the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas?

The Compassionate Use Registry of Texas, or CURT, is the state database the Department of Public Safety uses to track Compassionate Use Program prescriptions. A registered physician enters your prescription into CURT, and a licensed dispensing organization checks CURT to confirm it before filling your order. Because the registry entry is the credential, Texas issues no separate patient card and charges no registry fee. As of 2026, CURT remains the single point of verification for every TCUP prescription in the state.

How do I find a Texas Compassionate Use Program doctor?

A Texas TCUP doctor is a physician registered with the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas administered by the Department of Public Safety. Only CURT-registered physicians can enter prescriptions under HSC Chapter 487. Miracle Leaf® Texas clinics in Houston, Dallas, and Austin staff CURT-registered physicians, and telehealth evaluations are available statewide. The visit starts with a medical-record review, not a card application.

Three things make a physician eligible to certify you under TCUP: enrollment in the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas, an active Texas medical license, and the clinical judgment that low THC cannabis fits your condition. Miracle Leaf® physicians meet all three, and most evaluations run by telehealth, so you do not have to travel to qualify.

Telehealth or in-clinic in Texas?

Texas TCUP evaluations run primarily by telehealth. A secure video visit lets a CURT-registered physician review your records, confirm a qualifying condition, and enter the prescription without an in-person trip. Patients near Houston, Dallas, or Austin can also book in-clinic. Either way, the prescription enters CURT the same visit once the physician determines you qualify. To check whether your diagnosis is covered before you book, review the Texas qualifying conditions.

What should you expect at a Texas Compassionate Use evaluation?

A Texas evaluation is a medical visit, not a sales appointment. The physician reviews your history, confirms whether you meet a qualifying condition under Chapter 487, and answers your questions about low THC products and dosing. If you qualify, the prescription goes into the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas the same visit, and you fill it at a separate licensed dispensing organization. No clinic can promise an outcome before a physician has reviewed your records, and there is no state card to wait for in the mail.

What should you bring to your Texas evaluation?

Plan to bring a valid Texas-issued photo ID and any medical records that document a qualifying condition. Because the dispensing organization matches your identity against the registry record, the name on your prescription must match your state ID. A physician makes the eligibility determination during your evaluation, and no clinic can promise an outcome before a doctor has reviewed your situation.

What are Texas marijuana laws in depth?

For the HB 46 expansion of the Compassionate Use Program, the March 2026 DSHS smokable-hemp rule, the recreational possession penalty structure under HSC §481.121, and how the federal Schedule III rescheduling and 49 CFR Part 40 CDL testing interact with the TCUP prescription model, see the Texas marijuana laws explainer.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Miracle Leaf a dispensary in Texas?
No. Miracle Leaf is a physician certification clinic network, not a dispensary. A registered Texas physician evaluates whether you meet a qualifying condition under the Compassionate Use Program and, if appropriate, enters a prescription into the state registry. Approved patients then fill that prescription at a separate, state-licensed Texas dispensing organization.
What conditions qualify for the Texas Compassionate Use Program?
Texas qualifying conditions under Health and Safety Code Chapter 487 include cancer, epilepsy, seizure disorders, multiple sclerosis, ALS, autism spectrum disorder, PTSD, Crohn's disease or other inflammatory bowel disease, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, chronic pain, and terminal illness or hospice/palliative care. A physician determines eligibility during your evaluation.
Do I need a Texas medical marijuana card?
No. Texas does not issue a state medical marijuana card. The prescription entered into the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas functions as the access credential. At a licensed dispensing organization you present a Texas driver license or state ID that matches the registry record. There is no patient registration fee.
Can I buy cannabis flower in Texas?
No. Smokable flower is not authorized under the Compassionate Use Program. Chapter 487 limits product to low THC forms such as oils, tinctures, capsules, lozenges, patches, lotions, suppositories, and vaporized products for non-smoked pulmonary inhalation. The THC content carries a dose-based limit (up to 10 mg of THC per dose, with no package or inhalation device exceeding 1 gram of total THC) under HB 46 of 2025.
Does Texas honor an out-of-state medical card?
No. Texas does not provide reciprocity. A card issued by another state does not authorize purchases from a Texas dispensing organization and provides no affirmative defense to a state cannabis charge. A new Texas resident must obtain a prescription from a registered Texas physician.
How do I find a Texas Compassionate Use Program doctor?
A Texas Compassionate Use Program doctor is a physician enrolled in the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas administered by the Department of Public Safety. Only CURT-registered physicians can enter a prescription under Chapter 487. Miracle Leaf® Texas physicians serve Houston, Dallas, and Austin and evaluate patients by telehealth statewide, so most patients can qualify without traveling to a clinic.
Does Miracle Leaf offer telehealth evaluations in Texas?
Yes. Texas Compassionate Use Program evaluations run primarily by telehealth. A CURT-registered Miracle Leaf® physician reviews your records and qualifying condition over a secure video visit and, if appropriate, enters the prescription into the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas the same visit. Patients near Houston, Dallas, and Austin can also choose an in-clinic visit.
What should I expect at a Texas Compassionate Use evaluation?
A Texas evaluation is a medical visit. The physician reviews your history, confirms whether you meet a qualifying condition under Chapter 487, and answers questions about low THC products. If you qualify, the prescription enters the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas the same visit, and you fill it at a separate licensed dispensing organization. No clinic can promise an outcome before a physician reviews your records.
