🚨 ATTENTION TEXAS FOOD TRUCK & MOBILE FOOD VENDORS! 🚨
Today is July 1, and there’s a BIG change you need to know about! 🇨🇱🌮🚚
Beginning July 1, mobile food vendors operating in Texas are required to be licensed through the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). The previous system of obtaining separate local health permits is being replaced with a single statewide license under the new law. (Houston Chronicle)
✅ One statewide license
✅ No more separate local health permits for each city or county
✅ Simpler process for many vendors operating across Texas (Houston Chronicle)
⚠️ Keep in mind: Cities may still enforce local rules related to zoning, fire safety, approved operating locations, and other local ordinances that are separate from food safety permitting. (Denison, TX)
