Starting in 2025, Texas patients can get a medical marijuana card online with ease. With House Bill 46, telemedicine has been fully authorized for cannabis certification. Wondering how to get a medical marijuana card in Texas online? Learn how the process works—log in, meet a cannabis knowledgeable doctor virtually, get registered in CURT, and then receive your prescription without ever stepping into a clinic.
Step 1: Create a PrestoDoctor Account
Getting started is fast, easy, and secure through PrestoDoctor’s secure telehealth platform. The following steps will allow you to get your medical marijuana card in Texas in no time!
- Visit PrestoDoctor’s Texas page
- Click “Get Started”
- Fill out your secure intake form with basic medical info
- Schedule your online evaluation with a telehealth cannabis doctor in Texas
PrestoDoctor works only with Texas-licensed physicians who are registered in the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT).
Step 2: Meet Online With a Licensed Cannabis Doctor
At your appointment time, you’ll meet a telehealth cannabis doctor in Texas through a secure video platform. Most visits last 10–15 minutes.
Your physician will:
- Review your medical history
- Ask about symptoms (especially pain, PTSD, TBI, etc.)
- Determine if your condition qualifies for low-THC cannabis
If approved, your doctor will immediately enter your prescription into the CURT system (no physical card needed).
Step 3: Your Info Is Entered Into the CURT Registry
The Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT) is a secure system where licensed cannabis doctors enter your prescription. Dispensaries access it to verify your status.
There’s no card mailed to you. Your Texas ID (driver’s license or state-issued ID) is used to confirm your eligibility at any licensed dispensary.
Your data is kept private by the Texas Department of Public Safety.

- Tinctures
- Capsules
- Lozenges
- Patches

Legal Caveats & Best Practices
- Only low‑THC, non‑smokeable cannabis is permitted (capsules, tinctures, patches, inhalers).
- Smoking cannabis remains illegal, including for medical patients.
- Delta‑8 THC and hemp-derived THC products are under evolving regulation— though HB 46 does not authorize them. Read more about the recent updates and legal status of Delta-8 in Texas.
- Always purchase through licensed dispensaries registered via the new 15-license model under HB 46.
