A Texas-licensed physician registered with the state can evaluate you for a low-THC cannabis prescription. No card, no state fee — and honest guidance if you work in aerospace or defense.
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.
You'll need a qualifying condition, and the physician must find that benefits outweigh risks.
The physician records your low-THC prescription in the state registry.
Order from a DPS-licensed dispensing organization for delivery or pickup, and show a government photo ID.
No card and no state fee — Texas keeps your prescription in the registry instead.
Grand Prairie is a major aerospace and defense hub. If you work for a federal contractor or hold a security clearance, federal rules can matter more than state law.
Employers with federal contracts generally maintain drug-free workplace programs, and THC testing is common in aerospace and defense.
Federal clearance decisions consider marijuana use regardless of state law. If you hold or are seeking a clearance, talk with your security officer first.
Texas's program includes no employment protections, and cannabis remains illegal under federal law, even with a Texas prescription.
General information only, not legal advice. For specific questions, consult your employer's policy or an employment attorney.

Grand Prairie sits between Dallas and Fort Worth across three counties, with Joe Pool Lake to the south, Lone Star Park, the Epic Waters indoor waterpark, and Traders Village. It's also an aerospace and defense center, home to Lockheed Martin's Missiles and Fire Control headquarters. Grand Prairie 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, employment protections weren't added, and cannabis remains illegal under federal law. See the DPS program pages for current rules.
