Starting July 1, 2026, Texas will transition to a statewide permit system for Mobile Food Vendors.
Under the new system, food truck owners will no longer apply for permits through local health departments. Instead, permits and applications will be handled directly through the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS).
The changes also include updated statewide licensing and permitting fees, as well as a new online application process.
