What an owner in Texas can actually take to market — what belongs on Sell a Cannabis Business in Texas?

No comprehensive marijuana license exists to assign. Price a CUP license, not a fictional adult-use store. Hemp-derived retail is a separate, shrinking federal category. Legislative expansion talk is not a closed-store comparable. Price the contracts, the remaining lawful SKUs, and whether customers survive November 2026. Neighbor-state leakage is not an asset you can deed.

On an owner file in Texas, the federal overlay is a schedule split, not a national license. Federal Register 2026-08176 moved qualifying medical and FDA-approved marijuana to Schedule III on 28 April 2026. Adult-use marijuana stayed on Schedule I while a DEA hearing record sits with an administrative law judge. That is why IRC §280E still bites adult-use SG&A and why a medical slice can look different after tax.

Cited sources that govern owner exits in Texas: Federal Register 2026-08176 is the April 2026 medical / FDA-approved marijuana Schedule III order. IRC §280E still disallows ordinary deductions on Schedule I trafficking, which is why adult-use books stay in 280E. FinCEN FIN-2014-G001 remains the SAR frame banks actually use. SBA SOP 50 10 8 keeps plant-touching targets out of 7(a) and 504, including medical.
