Temporary Restraining Order Granted: THCA Available Again & Other Updates

Table of Contents

Key Takeaways
  • New Texas hemp regulations took effect on March 31, prompting the Texas Hemp Business Council (THBC) to file a lawsuit targeting the most harmful provisions, including a ban on THCA products.
  • A court quickly granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) that paused enforcement of key regulations, allowing consumers in Texas to buy THCA products again, at least temporarily.
  • The THBC will appear in a hearing for a temporary injunction on April 23, which could extend the pause on the regulations until the legal case is resolved, though the duration is currently uncertain.
On March 31, new Texas hemp regulations went into effect- some of which made sense, and others that were detrimental to consumers and businesses alike. In response, the Texas Hemp Business Council (THBC) filed a lawsuit on April 8 targeting the most harmful aspects of the regulatory changes.

Within 48 hours, a court granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) that paused the enforcement of key provisions, including the ban on THCA products.

If you would like to learn more about the TRO, what it covers, and what comes next in the legal process, you can watch the update from THBC Founder & President Cynthia Cabrera in the video below.

An Update from Cynthia Cabrera

Yes, You Can Buy THCA in Texas Again (for Now)

While most of what the TRO blocks affects businesses, for consumers in Texas, it means that as of this writing (4/17/2026), you can buy THCA products at your local hemp shop or order them online for delivery.

But how? Among the major changes that went into effect on March 31 was the redefinition of hemp products. On the Farm Bill, hemp is defined as cannabis with a 0.3% or lower concentration of Delta-9 THC by dry weight. Although THCA decarboxylizes into Delta-9 THC when heated up, it wasn’t counted towards the threshold.

Those new rules are temporarily halted.

With that in mind, if you are a fan of our THCA concentrates, we highly recommend you grab a stash sooner rather than later. How long the new regulations will be blocked is unknown and dependent on upcoming developments.

What’s Next for Texas Hemp?

On April 23, the Texas Hemp Business Council will appear in a hearing on a temporary injunction. But what exactly is a temporary injunction? A temporary restraining order prevents one party or entity from taking a specific action for a specified period of time. A temporary injunction, however, limits these actions until the related legal proceedings have been completed.
