The Texas ban on THC products is still in effect, after a federal judge denied a motion by hemp businesses and consumers for a temporary restraining order.
A U.S. District Judge in Galveston declined to lift the ban on Sunday, saying the two hemp retailers and a distributor who filed the lawsuit hadn’t sufficiently demonstrated irreparable harm from the ban on interstate commerce.
The request for a preliminary injunction, which allows for fuller briefing and an evidentiary hearing, is still pending before the court.
