Renew

Arlington patients can maintain medical cannabis access by keeping their physician authorization active in Texas’ Compassionate Use Program. Since Texas does not issue medical marijuana cards, continued access depends on the physician keeping the prescription current in CURT.

Do Arlington Patients Need to Renew Medical Cannabis Access?

Texas patients must remain under the care of a physician registered with the Texas Department of Public Safety. Continued access depends on follow-up evaluations and updated physician authorization when low-THC cannabis treatment remains appropriate.

How Can Arlington Patients Keep Their Authorization Active?

Texas does not use a traditional card renewal process. Instead, patients continue access through physician follow-up appointments. During these visits:

• The physician reviews the patient’s current condition
• The physician decides whether low-THC cannabis should continue
• The prescription is updated in CURT when needed

 

After the prescription is current in CURT, patients may continue obtaining approved products from licensed dispensing organizations.

How Long Does Texas Medical Cannabis Authorization Last in Arlington?

Texas does not set one standard expiration period for every patient. The length of access depends on the physician’s prescription and treatment plan. Patients should schedule follow-up visits before updates are needed to avoid interruptions.

What Does Renewal Cost for Arlington Patients?

Continued access usually depends on the cost of a physician follow-up visit.

• Physician follow-up visit: commonly about $75 to $250 or more, depending on the provider

 

Texas does not charge a state renewal fee or card fee. Access continues through an active physician prescription in CURT.
