Know Your Rights
THCA Hemp Is LEGAL Right Now
Travis County 455th District Court Temporary Injunction (Cause D-1-GN-26-002511, Judge Daniella DeSeta Lyttle, granted 2026-05-01, bond $8,000, industry-wide scope) blocks DSHS Total-THC enforcement. THCA flower, smokable hemp, edibles, tinctures, topicals all legal on Texas shelves under TI protection.
Mail Order Is PROTECTED
The 2018 Farm Bill (7 U.S.C. §1639o) protects interstate commerce of compliant hemp. You CAN receive hemp shipped from any legal state including R&D’s North Carolina fulfillment.
TI Survived The State’s Appeal
State filed interlocutory appeal at Texas 15th Court of Appeals on 2026-05-05 — Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 51.014(b) auto-stay briefly paused the TI. 15th COA REINSTATED the TI on 2026-05-07 after plaintiffs filed an emergency motion. TI in continuous force since.

Not To Be Confused With The Sky Marketing Δ-8 Case
SCOTX Cause 23-0887 (DSHS v. Sky Marketing / Hometown Hero) is the Δ-8 / synthetic isomer case at the Texas Supreme Court. Separate from the THCA case. Reggie & Dro does NOT sell Δ-8 — the Sky Marketing case does not apply to our products.
Legislature REJECTED Ban Bills
SB 3, SB 5, and SB 6 all failed. Unelected DSHS bureaucrats tried through rulemaking what legislators refused three times — the court enjoined that overreach.
