The heated battle over hemp-derived THC in Texas has yet to fully burn out, with state Sen. Charles Perry (R-Lubbock) issuing two letters on Monday to state agencies requesting they begin work on updating rules regarding such products being sold in the state.
The Texas Legislature was successful in passing Senate Bill (SB) 3, a bill that would have created a broad ban on hemp-derived THC products, during the regular session. But Gov. Greg Abbott vetoed the bill, and instead tasked the members with addressing the issue through regulation during both the special sessions that followed.
