Summary
Guadalupe 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 power to dictate where food trucks may park in unincorporated areas, so there are no vending-zone maps, distance-from-restaurant buffers, or commissary-radius limits set by the county. Where you can vend is a matter of private property permission and, along state roads like I-10, US 90, or SH 123, TxDOT access rules. The county's only regulatory lever over a mobile unit is health permitting under Health and Safety Code Section 437.003, which addresses food safety, not location. Cities such as Seguin, Schertz, and Cibolo 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 a highway right-of-way draws traffic enforcement.
