Texas treats low-THC cannabis like any other prescription drug — a CUP-registered physician writes it, the prescription lives in the state's CURT registry, and you pick it up at a licensed dispensary. No ID card. No state fee. From Downtown Plano to West Plano to the Legacy corridor, the process is the same.
Book a real-time video appointment with a Texas-licensed physician registered with the Department of Public Safety under the Compassionate Use Program. The clinic's consultation fee is paid at booking. The visit happens on real-time video — phone, tablet, or laptop — from anywhere in Plano.
The physician reviews your medical history and determines whether one of the 13 qualifying conditions applies and whether the medical use of low-THC cannabis is reasonable in light of potential benefit. If yes, the physician enters a prescription for you directly into the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT) — a 90-day supply with up to four refills.
Visit any DPS-licensed dispensing organization in Texas. Bring your driver's license or state-issued ID, and be ready to provide your last name, date of birth, and last 5 digits of your Social Security number for the CURT match. The dispensary fills your prescription on the spot — no waiting period, no state-issued card needed.
Whether you're in Downtown Plano, West Plano, the Legacy corridor, East Plano, or anywhere across the greater Plano area — your CUP-registered TX physician is a real-time video call away.
Direct answers — sourced from Texas DPS guidance — to questions Plano residents ask most often about the appointment and how the Compassionate Use Program works.
Plano is one of North Texas's most prosperous cities — a community of nearly 300,000 residents north of Dallas, home to the North American headquarters of Toyota, Frito-Lay, and JCPenney, and one of the wealthiest and most educated cities in the United States. Plano residents access the Texas Compassionate Use Program on the same statewide terms as every other Texan: a prescription from a DPS-registered CUP physician, entered into CURT, filled at any licensed Texas dispensary. No state fee. No ID card. PlanoMarijuana.clinic connects Plano residents with CUP-registered physicians via real-time telehealth.
Three things commonly required in other states' medical cannabis programs are not required in Texas. First, there is no separate patient registration — your information is added to CURT by the physician at the time of prescription. Second, there is no annual state fee. Third, there is no state-issued medical marijuana ID card. Your driver's license combined with the CURT registry record is the identification system. For Plano patients, the only direct cost of getting started is the clinic's consultation fee.
The DPS-published list covers: ALS, autism, cancer, Crohn's disease or other inflammatory bowel disease, a condition causing chronic pain, epilepsy, an incurable neurodegenerative disease, MS, PTSD, a seizure disorder, spasticity, a terminal illness or condition for which a patient is receiving hospice or palliative care, and traumatic brain injury. The patient must be a permanent Texas resident. For the official current list visit dps.texas.gov.
Each CUP prescription covers up to a 90-day supply with up to four refills. After those are exhausted, a follow-up visit is required to obtain a new prescription. Smoking is not a permitted method of administration in Texas — available forms include oils, tinctures, gummies, lozenges, and topicals. A physician may prescribe aerosol or vapor inhalation when medical necessity is determined. Dispensary product availability varies by location — the list of DPS-licensed dispensing organizations is maintained at dps.texas.gov/section/compassionate-use-program.
