Bought it from a hemp retailer in good faith? No possession offense.
The bill says a person does not commit a drug possession offense if they hold a product labeled as a legal consumable hemp product that actually contains a controlled substance or marihuana beyond the levels allowed for hemp. It protects consumers who bought that product from a retailer they reasonably believed was allowed to sell consumable hemp. Starting September 1, 2025, a shopper caught with a mislabeled or spiked hemp product would not face a possession charge under that subchapter if those conditions are met.

89R7203 RDR-D By: Collier H.B. No. 3122 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT relating to a defense to prosecution for the possession of certain consumable hemp products containing a controlled substance or marihuana. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: SECTION 1. Section 481.111, Health and Safety Code, is amended by adding Subsection (c-1) to read as follows: (c-1) A person does not commit an offense under this subchapter involving the possession of a controlled substance or marihuana if: (1) the person possesses a product that purports by the product's label to contain a consumable hemp product that is authorized under state or federal law; (2) the product described by Subdivision (1) contains a controlled substance or marihuana, other than the substances extracted from hemp in the concentrations authorized under Subchapter E, Chapter 443; and (3) the person purchased the product described by Subdivision (1) from a retailer the person reasonably believed was authorized to sell a consumable hemp product. SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only to an offense committed on or after the effective date of this Act. An offense committed before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the date the offense was committed, and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. For purposes of this section, an offense was committed before the effective date of this Act if any element of the offense occurred before that date. SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
