Effective July 1, 2026, pursuant to Texas House Bill 2844 (2025), mobile food unit operators may be required to obtain a permit issued by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to continue operating within the State of Texas. Permits issued by local jurisdictions prior to this date will no longer be valid for operation on or after July 1, 2026, and are not expected to be grandfathered under the new law.
