New state law will allow Valley food trucks to work across counties with one license
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A new Texas law will simplify operations for food trucks starting July 1, requiring them to obtain a state license from the Texas Health Department instead of local permits. This change allows vendors to operate across city and county lines with a single license. Diana Baca, Program Manager for Hidalgo County Health and Human Services, emphasized the importance of applying promptly for the state license, as many may mistakenly believe local permits are sufficient. The cost of the license ranges from $300 to $1,800, depending on the type of vendor, and Hidalgo County is offering assistance to those with questions.
