Texas is a very influential state for many reasons. It’s large. It borders Mexico, and traditionally it is quite conservative. This includes their drug policy. Frankly speaking, Texas is pretty hard on marijuana. Growing marijuana in Texas is a felony and possession of even the smallest amount is a misdemeanor, hence there is no medical marijuana program.
Growing Marijuana In Texas
If you are considering growing weed in Texas, keep your grow small and discrete. Following these simple steps could reduce your chances of getting in a lot of trouble, and, may even keep you from getting in any trouble at all.
Texas Marijuana laws
There is a saying that everything is bigger in Texas, but when it comes to growing weed in Texas, it does not apply. I say this because they do not have cultivation laws- only possession laws. This means that if arrested for growing marijuana, the charge will be based only on the amount of marijuana grown. While small amounts is a misdemeanor, anything greater than 4 ounces is considered a felony. Check the difference at this link here.

Hi thanks for Th e opportunity but where can I sell my product after it grows.
Ellana,
Yes. I believe medical marijuana has yest to be ratified in Texas. If you are capable of keeping 2 plants growing and do not share this info with anyone. Never let anyone know you are growing 2 plants; You could possibly and most likely get away with growing.
2 plants is a small grow and should not attract attention if you do it right. An investment of 200-300 bucks would be necessary for a small grow.

Hi Mark, from what I see you can get the stamp without being busted for it. It’s better to have it so you save on tax evasion charges. I did not find where exactly in Texas you can get the stamps but this might be a good place to start looking: http://norml.org/legal/item/texas-tax-stamps
