Food trucks in Collin County require a Texas DSHS mobile food unit permit and a local health department permit from each city or from Collin County Environmental Services for unincorporated commissary operations.
Texas Food Establishment Rules (25 TAC §228) govern mobile food units statewide. Operators need a Texas DSHS-approved commissary, a food manager certification, and individual city permits. Plano Environmental Health requires a $258 annual mobile food unit permit plus truck inspection; Frisco charges $220; McKinney charges $200. Collin County Environmental Services permits unincorporated operations at $125. Trucks serving multiple cities need a separate permit in each. Private-event operation on private property typically exempt; public right-of-way vending requires additional ROW permit.
Operating without permit: $200-2,000 municipal fine plus closure. DSHS commissary violations: state-level suspension. Food safety critical violations trigger same-day closure.
