However, the Texas Supreme Court did clarify that the hemp businesses were allowed to bring the suit, saying they had standing because DSHS action caused real economic harm and they didn't have to "bet the farm" by violating the law to sue.
But the plaintiffs (Hometown Hero, Create a Cig Temple, Darrell Surif, David Walden) lost on claims that mattered for keeping the injunction.
Because those claims failed, the court ended the injunction that had blocked the state from treating manufactured D8 as controlled.
The Texas Supreme Court said naturally occuring trace Delta-8 in hemp is allowed. But manufactured D8 products converted from hemp-derived CBD are not.
