Texas Hemp Shops Await Court Ruling

0:00It's April 18, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Dallas News Today, local news powered by AI. Texas Hymns shops are bracing for a big court hearing next Thursday that could determine if smokeable hem products stay on store shelves. State health officials recently advanced rules to ban those items outright and jack up licensing fees, aiming to tighten safety and block minors from. Getting them, late last month, those restrictions hit a roadblock when hem companies sued, claiming the state overreached. A judge quickly stepped in with a temporary restraining order, keeping sales alive for now and giving everyone a breather. Folks at spots like Moon Taxi in Lower Greenville are feeling the heat manager there launched an early sale on April 17 to let customers stock up before any changes. Shoppers are anxious, worried their go-to products might vanish. The judge will rule on a longer injunction to pause enforcement while the lawsuit drags on. If approved, business as usual, if shot down, the ban snaps into place immediately.
