Prominent Houston-based trial lawyer Tony Buzbee celebrated Gov. Greg Abbott's decision to veto Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's-backed THC ban as a win for those within the THC retail market—like himself. "I'm happy the Governor vetoed the bill," Buzbee said in a Monday night social media post.

Governor Abbott of Texas vetoed 26 bills and called a special session to address six, including a ban on specific THC products.

Greg Abbott’s veto of a bill that his lieutenant governor supported underscores the patchwork nature of regulation of cannabis.
