The Texas Vape Ban 2025 officially prohibits all cannabinoid vape products — including disposables, cartridges, and pods — from being sold or shipped in Texas. While vapes are no longer available, many hemp products remain fully compliant under federal law. Consumers can still enjoy legal alternatives such as gummies, dabs and concentrates, and pre-rolls and hemp flower.

What the Texas Vape Ban Includes

Texas law now forbids the sale and distribution of vapes containing cannabinoids. This means that vape products cannot be shipped from or into the State of Texas. The ban covers:

• Disposable vapes
• Cartridges and pods

Hemp Products That Remain Legal

Not every hemp product is subject to the Texas vape ban. Legal products, as defined under the 2018 Farm Bill—if they meet compliance standards—are those that do not contain cannabinoids in vape form. Consumers can still shop for these alternatives:

• Edibles and Gummies – including Delta 8, Delta 9, HHC, and THCa gummies, all in one collection.

• Dabs, Concentrates, and Extracts – compliant hemp concentrates for legal use.

• Pre-Rolls and Hemp Flower – select flower and pre-rolls that meet federal guidelines.

• Tinctures – hemp-derived tinctures fully compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill.

To remain compliant, these products must:

• Contain no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC (dry weight).

• Be sold exclusively to customers 21 and older.

• Require age verification at the point of sale.

How the PACT Act Impacts Shipping

Even though Texas restricts vapes, federal rules under the PACT Act still apply to all age-restricted hemp products sold online. Retailers must:

• Verify age during checkout.
• Confirm the buyer’s identity using legal name and matching billing/shipping information.
• Ensure the headshot and signature verification align with the ID.
•  All packages must include proof of verification, though sensitive personal information remains protected.

Areas Still Uncertain

Some regulations in Texas are still evolving:

• Proposed bills like SB 6 and HB 36 have stalled, creating uncertainty about further restrictions on hemp cannabinoids.
• Rules for minor cannabinoids and new hemp-derived compounds are still under review and may change in the near future.
• Currently, only vape products are banned; compliant dabs, extracts, gummies, and hemp flower remain legal for now.

Key Takeaways

The Texas vape ban marks a significant change in what can be sold and shipped within the state. All vape products are prohibited from being shipped into or out of Texas, while compliant hemp-derived dabs, gummies, and extracts remain legal. Consumers and businesses should stay informed as regulations continue to develop at both the state and federal levels.
