Any business that sells food, beverages, or both to the public from a mobile unit in Texas must have a permit.
According to the Texas Food Establishment Rules, the category of “mobile units” includes:
- Motor vehicles
- Trailers
- Bikes
- Pushcarts and kiosks
- Peddlers on foot selling from coolers or hot boxes
Permits are not transferable between mobile units. If your business has more than one mobile unit, you’ll need a separate permit for each one.
