A Texas-licensed physician registered with the state can evaluate you for the Texas Compassionate Use Program. There's no card to carry, no state fee, and delivery reaches much of the Metroplex.
The Texas Compassionate Use Program is administered by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
A Texas-licensed physician registered in the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT) evaluates you — in person or, with many registered physicians, by telemedicine.
If you have a qualifying condition and the physician finds the benefits outweigh the risks, they prescribe low-THC cannabis.
Your physician enters the prescription in the state registry. You don't register yourself.
A DPS-licensed dispensing organization verifies your government photo ID against the registry, then fills your order.
Texas doesn't issue medical cannabis cards, and patients don't pay the state to participate. Physician and product costs are separate.
With DFW Airport partly within city limits, Irving residents travel a lot. A TCUP prescription is valid under Texas law only.
Airports and flights fall under federal law, which doesn't recognize the Texas program. Leave low-THC prescriptions at home, in both carry-on and checked bags.
Carrying cannabis into another state is illegal under federal law, and other states' programs don't cover a Texas prescription.
Keep products in the dispensing organization's packaging and carry your ID. Law enforcement can verify prescriptions in the registry. Never drive impaired.

Irving sits between Dallas and Fort Worth, with part of DFW International Airport inside city limits. The Las Colinas district is known for Lake Carolyn, the Toyota Music Factory, and the bronze Mustangs of Las Colinas, and the city is home to the University of Dallas and a notably diverse population. Irving residents follow the same statewide rules as every Texan in the Compassionate Use Program.
TCUP operates under Texas Occupations Code Chapter 169 and Health and Safety Code Chapter 487. The Texas Department of Public Safety runs the registry and licenses dispensing organizations, and House Bill 46 expanded the program in 2025.
Texas has no adult-use market, smoking remains prohibited, and cannabis remains illegal under federal law. See the DPS program pages for current rules.
