Weslaco Approves Ordinance Limiting Vape Shop Operating Hours
What happened
Weslaco leaders approved an ordinance on October 22, 2026, that limits vape shop operating hours. Under the new rule, shops may operate from 7 a.m. to midnight Monday through Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to midnight on Sundays, ending overnight operations. The changes affect three vape shops, including two that were previously open 24 hours and one that stayed open until 2 a.m.

Why it matters
The ordinance was implemented to protect businesses following robbery incidents, according to Mayor Adrian Gonzalez. Vape shops that do not comply with the new rules could face a $2,000 fine, and two or more violations within a year could lead to license suspension or permit revocation.
