Food trucks operating in unincorporated Montgomery County must obtain a Mobile Food Unit permit from Montgomery County Environmental Health Services under Texas Food Establishment Rules (25 TAC §228) — annual fee roughly $258, plumbed commissary agreement required, vehicle inspection mandatory, handwashing sink and three-compartment sink or equivalent, food manager certification under TX Health & Safety Code §438.046. Operations within Conroe city limits require an additional Conroe mobile food vendor permit under Code Ch. 22 or Ch. 26 and compliance with city zoning. The Woodlands Township does not issue standalone vendor permits but requires special event permits for Town Center, Market Street, and park vending — typically arranged through event sponsor or township economic development. State sales tax permit required through Texas Comptroller. General liability insurance standard. Propane inspection by State Fire Marshal.
Operating without county health permit: $250-$2,000 plus suspension order under TX §437. Conroe without city permit: $250-$1,000 plus impoundment. Health violations: immediate closure. Sales tax non-compliance: Comptroller penalties.
