Summary
Williamson County sets no vending zones or location districts for food trucks; it cannot zone unincorporated land. A permitted mobile food unit may operate wherever the property owner allows, subject only to health permitting and traffic-safety rules.
To enforce state law and rules adopted under state law, the commissioners court of a county by order may require food service establishments, retail food stores, mobile food units, and roadside food vendors in unincorporated areas of the county, including areas in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality, to obtain a permit from the county.
Full Breakdown
The county has no authority to designate where food trucks may or may not park in unincorporated areas, so there are no vending-zone maps, distance-from-restaurant buffers, or commissary-radius limits imposed by the county. Location is a matter of private property permission and, along state highways, TxDOT access rules. The county's only regulatory lever over mobile units is health permitting under Health and Safety Code Section 437.003, which addresses food safety rather than location. Cities like Round Rock and Georgetown do impose vending-location rules inside their limits.
Violations & Fines
The county issues no vending-zone citations in unincorporated areas. Vending without the property owner's consent is civil trespass; blocking a county road or highway right-of-way draws traffic enforcement.
