Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 481
Texas controlled-substance statute containing the Penalty Group/Schedule provisions for psilocybin.
Open sourceNo. Psilocybin mushrooms are illegal statewide in Texas in 2026; no Texas city has passed psilocybin decriminalization.
SB 2308 (2025) appropriated substantial funding for ibogaine research at Texas A&M in partnership with former Kentucky official W. Bryan Hubbard. Texas IMPACT ibogaine trial is one of the larger active US ibogaine research programs.
Texas remains the only US state where wild peyote harvest is permitted under federal distributor licensing. Psilocybin and psilocybin-containing products (including gummies and edibles) are Schedule I in Texas; no decriminalization has passed. Amanita muscaria (which contains muscimol, not psilocybin) occupies a regulatory grey area and is sold in some Texas stores — it is not the same as psilocybin mushrooms and does not produce the same effects.

No. Psilocybin mushrooms are illegal statewide in Texas in 2026; no Texas city has passed psilocybin decriminalization.
No. Psilocybin mushrooms are Schedule I under Texas Health & Safety Code §481.103. No city has passed a decriminalization or deprioritization resolution. Texas has funded ibogaine research (SB 2308, 2025) but psilocybin remains fully illegal for personal use.
No. Psilocybin and psilocin are Schedule I controlled substances under Texas Health & Safety Code §481.103. Possession carries criminal penalties. No Texas city has passed a deprioritization or decriminalization resolution for psilocybin. No state-level reform has passed as of 2026.
Amanita muscaria (the red-and-white spotted mushroom) contains muscimol and ibotenic acid — not psilocybin. Muscimol is not scheduled under Texas state law or federal law, which is why Amanita muscaria products (gummies, extracts, tinctures) are sold in some Texas wellness and vape stores. These are legally and chemically distinct from psilocybin mushrooms and produce a very different effect.
No. Neither Austin nor Houston has passed a decriminalization or deprioritization resolution for psilocybin. Texas state law applies, and psilocybin mushrooms are Schedule I throughout the state.
Yes, for ibogaine specifically. SB 2308 (2025) appropriated significant funding for ibogaine research at Texas A&M through the Texas IMPACT program, targeting veterans with PTSD and TBI. This is a research program, not a consumer access program, and it covers ibogaine, not psilocybin.
