Texas Cottage Food Law (TX HSC Chapter 437) allows Conroe residents to sell certain homemade foods directly to consumers without a food establishment permit. Annual sales cap is $75,000.
Under the Texas Cottage Food Production Operation law (TX Health and Safety Code Chapter 437, Subchapter B), Conroe residents may produce and sell certain homemade foods directly to consumers without a food establishment permit. Allowed items include baked goods, candy, jams, dried fruits, and other non-time/temperature-controlled foods. As of 2023, the annual sales cap is $75,000. Sales must be direct to the consumer and not through retail stores. Products must be labeled with the producer's name, address, and the statement that the item is not inspected by the Texas Department of State Health Services. Conroe's lack of zoning means no additional city restrictions on where cottage food operations may occur.
Exceeding the sales cap or selling prohibited items may trigger state health department enforcement.
