Florida-based multistate operator Trulieve Cannabis Corp. has filed renovation plans for three medical marijuana storefronts in Texas.
The move follows the company’s December announcement that it received conditional approval for a Texas Dispensing Organization license.
What are Trulieve’s plans for its Texas dispensaries?
According to filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, as reported by the Austin American-Statesman, Trulieve is planning:
- A $250,000 buildout of a 4,060-square-foot space in Austin
- A $200,000 buildout of a 1,324-square-foot space in Dallas
- A $200,000 buildout of a 2,753-square-foot space in San Antonio
The dispensaries are expected to open in September, according to the American-Statesman.
Trulieve joins Florida-based Fluent, Texas-based Goodblend and Texas Original as the state’s only licensed medical marijuana operators, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
State regulators plan to issue an additional 12 licenses under House Bill 46, passed in 2025.
How has Texas’ medical marijuana program evolved?
Texas launched its Compassionate Use Program in 2015, initially limiting low-THC medical cannabis to patients with intractable epilepsy.
Lawmakers have since broadened the list of qualifying conditions to include multiple sclerosis, autism, post-traumatic stress disorder, cancer and chronic pain.
Recreational marijuana remains illegal in the state.
How is Trulieve positioning itself for rescheduling?
Trulieve brings considerable weight to the expansion of Texas’ medical marijuana program. The company, which operates more than 250 dispensaries nationwide, reported first-quarter net income of $2.3 million on revenue of $287 million.
The Texas filings arrive alongside a broader corporate shift. Trulieve has proposed reincorporating from British Columbia to Delaware, a change the company says would better align its structure with its U.S. operations. Shareholders will vote on the proposal Aug. 5.
