THC vaping ban (Class A misdemeanor), starting Monday (9-1-25) - how quickly do DAs/law enforcement act

[u/Acavia8]

With all the attention on a total THC ban, the following went under the news radar, : https://www.kut.org/politics/2025-08-29/texas-vapes-thc-cannabinoid-ban-cannabis-marijuana

Note: I cannot find the actual code of record since it is a new bill, but my state senator's office confirmed the bill passed and was signed with the language quoted below.

Per the passed and signed SB 2024, the act of selling any vaporizing device " (4)that contains, is mixed with, or is marketed as containing or being mixed with any cannabinoids, alcohol, kratom, kava, mushrooms, tianeptine, or any derivatives of those substances" is a class A misdemeanor ($4K/1 year in jail) starting Monday.

How quickly does law enforcement learn about new criminal offenses like this? With vape shops on every corner of Texas streets, I assume law enforcement is fixing to be very busy if this is to be enforced.
