The total cost of a Texas medical marijuana card is the sum of three categories: a one-time physician evaluation, the state registration fee charged by the Texas Department of Public Safety, Compassionate Use Program (CURT), and your ongoing dispensary spending. This page lays out each line item so there are no surprises.
A Texas-licensed physician must certify that you have a qualifying condition. Most telehealth providers — including MedicalMarijuanaCards.us — charge a flat fee in the $99–$199 range, which typically includes a money-back guarantee if you do not qualify. In-person evaluations at clinics can run higher, often $150–$250.
The Texas Department of Public Safety, Compassionate Use Program (CURT) charges a state registration fee of No state registration fee. This fee is paid directly to the state, not to a physician or telehealth service, and is generally non-refundable once the application is submitted. Texas processes complete applications in about same-day to several days after physician entry.
This is where most patients spend the bulk of their cannabis budget. Texas dispensary pricing varies by product, potency, and brand, but typical retail ranges look like this:
Texas permits these forms: low-THC products only (≤1% THC); no smokable flower. Possession is capped at low-THC cannabis (up to 1% THC by weight) per prescription.
Physician evaluation: $99–$199. State registration (No state registration fee). Dispensary spending varies widely — most Texas patients budget $100–$300 per month. Total first year (light user): $1,500–$2,500. Heavy user: $4,000+.

The fee is due at each renewal. Texas cards renew per physician recommendation, so you will pay No state registration fee on that schedule.
Most Texas cities apply state sales tax to medical cannabis. Some local jurisdictions add a local cannabis tax. The medical card may exempt you from the higher adult-use excise tax — confirm at your dispensary.
Flower runs roughly $25–$60 per eighth (3.5g); $200–$420 per ounce. Vape cartridges run $25–$60. Edibles run $15–$35 per 100mg THC package. Prices vary by brand, potency, and Texas dispensary location.
Many telehealth providers — including MedicalMarijuanaCards.us — offer a money-back guarantee on the evaluation fee if the Texas-licensed physician determines you do not qualify. The No state registration fee state fee is paid only after certification, so it is not at risk if you are not certified.
No. Health insurance — including Medicare and most private plans — does not cover medical marijuana evaluation or registration fees, because cannabis remains a Schedule I substance under federal law. Patients pay out of pocket.
