7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) is restricted in Texas. The Texas Kratom Consumer Health and Safety Protection Act caps 7-hydroxymitragynine at two percent of a kratom product's alkaloid fraction and bars synthetic 7-hydroxymitragynine, so concentrated 7-OH products are effectively prohibited. A 2025 bill that would have repealed this law and scheduled 7-OH did not appear to pass; readers should confirm current Texas law with official sources before relying on this summary. Federally, the FDA recommended in 2025 that the DEA schedule concentrated 7-OH, but 7-OH remains federally unscheduled as of 2026.
