under the ESA, but <a href=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/2015\/11\/06\/court-vacates-lesser-prairie-chicken-listing-under-endangered-species-act\/\">that decision was later overturned<\/a> by a federal judge here in Texas.\u00a0 [Read Complaint <a href=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/s3-wagtail.biolgicaldiversity.org\/documents\/1-1_Complaint_File_Stamped.pdf\">here<\/a>.]<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Governor Abbott signs law paving way for hemp production and legal CBD oil sales in Texas.<\/strong>\u00a0 Governor Abbot has signed HB 1325, which will set a framework for rules and regulations necessary to allow Texas farmers to begin legally producing hemp.\u00a0 Importantly, this bill does not allow hemp to be grown, but instead requires the Texas Department of Agriculture to promulgate a state plan to regulate hemp production in Texas.\u00a0 Before TDA can do so, it will have to wait for USDA rules to be passed on the federal level.\u00a0 So, while this is certainly a step in the direction of hemp production in the Lone Star State, we still have a long row to hoe, as my dad would say.\u00a0 [Read article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tpr.org\/post\/hemp-production-now-legal-texas-it-needs-guidelines-it-can-grow\">here<\/a> and bill text <a href=\"https:\/\/capitol.texas.gov\/tlodocs\/86R\/billtext\/pdf\/HB01325F.pdf#navpanes=0\">here<\/a>.]<\/p>\n<p><strong>*FDA holds public hearing on regulation of CBD oil.<\/strong>\u00a0 Although the CBD industry is booming, there remains a lot regulatory uncertainty on the topic.\u00a0 The Food and Drug Administration recently held a public hearing on regulations of CBD oil.\u00a0 Steptoe &amp;
