San Antonio Metropolitan Health District inspects restaurants countywide, including unincorporated Bexar County, under a joint city-county agreement, scoring facilities and posting inspection results online for public review.
Metro Health is a joint city-county public health authority that performs routine food establishment inspections for permitted restaurants throughout Bexar County. Inspectors score violations on a demerit system rather than letter grades, with facilities scoring above threshold demerits subject to re-inspection within ten days. Reports are posted on the Metro Health public portal. Critical violations involving temperature, contamination, or pest activity may trigger immediate closure. Mobile food vendors, schools, and daycares are inspected on separate cycles tied to permit renewal under Texas Food Establishment Rules adopted by the county.
Operating without a current food permit, failing re-inspection, or critical violations triggering closure can result in fines, permit suspension, or revocation by Metro Health.
