Texas CURT Low-THC Cannabis Prescription

Texas has no paper form for low-THC cannabis under the Texas Compassionate Use Program: a registered physician enters the patient record and the prescription, including dosage, amount and method of administration, in the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT). A licensed dispensing organization then verifies the patient in the registry and fills it. The program operates under Health and Safety Code chapter 487.

Who completes it

A Texas MD or DO registered in CURT, who dedicates a significant portion of practice to the patient's condition under Occupations Code chapter 169, completes the electronic prescription and registration, or a delegate enters it. The patient presents ID at the dispensary.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Enter the prescription in CURT under your physician registration; the patient then presents identification at a licensed dispensing organization, which verifies the prescription in the registry.

  • Physicians can also enter safety and efficacy data from their patients' treatment in CURT, and law enforcement agencies can use the registry to verify patients.
