Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (TCNNF) secured a conditional approval from the Texas Department of Public Safety for its subsidiary Trulieve TX, Inc. to operate as a Dispensing Organization under the Texas Compassionate Use Program. The approval allows the company to cultivate, manufacture, and distribute medical cannabis products in Texas once final licensing is granted.
The conditional license is a strategic milestone for Trulieve, which has built a vertically integrated footprint in states such as Arizona, Florida, and Pennsylvania. Texas, the third‑largest U.S. state by population, represents a significant new market. The company plans to work closely with regulators to complete the remaining due‑diligence requirements and to launch retail operations in the state in the future.
Trulieve’s recent financial performance underscores the importance of this expansion. In Q3 2025, the company generated $288 million in revenue, a 59 % gross margin, and a net loss of $27 million. The quarter’s revenue growth of 3 % year‑over‑year was described by management as a “slowing” acceleration, reflecting a shift toward higher‑margin wholesale and retail segments. Gross margin improvement from 54 % in Q4 2023 to 59 % in Q3 2025 signals effective cost control and pricing power amid a competitive market.
Management highlighted the company’s retail footprint expansion, noting 232 dispensary locations and a 16 % increase in wholesale revenue in Q3 2025. CEO Kim Rivers emphasized that the Texas license will “provide patients with expanded access to high‑quality medical cannabis products” and will “strengthen Trulieve’s competitive standing in a high‑growth market.” The conditional approval is a prerequisite for the company to begin cultivating and distributing in Texas, but it also positions Trulieve to leverage its existing cultivation and manufacturing capabilities to serve a new patient base.
The Texas Compassionate Use Program has recently broadened its scope, allowing up to 15 licensees and expanding patient access through House Bill 46. Trulieve is one of nine companies that received conditional approval in the first phase of this expansion, with three additional licenses expected by April 1 2026. The move places Trulieve ahead of competitors such as Verano Holdings and positions the company to capture a share of the growing medical cannabis market in Texas.
