Midland, TX Public Health Rules: Restaurant Grade Cards (2026)

Under Section 8-1-5, every food-establishment inspection is recorded on a report form that summarizes the code's requirements, and a copy goes to the owner or person in charge as written notice; critical violations must be corrected within ten days, non-critical ones within 20. When an establishment 'receives a failing score', an accumulation of critical and non-critical violations that drops it below standards, it must cease operations immediately and stay closed until the regulatory authority allows it to reopen. Completed inspection report forms are public documents Midland must make available to anyone who requests them.
