TEXAS FOOD TRUCK FAM — THIS IS HUGE.
Tomorrow, we’re heading to Capitol Hill to testify for something that could change the game for ALL of us:
HB 2844 — The Food Truck Freedom Bill
(AKA: the “Let Us Cook in Peace” bill… okay, not officially, but you get the vibe.)
What’s the problem?
Right now, every Texas city has different permits, inspections, and fees.
It’s expensive. Confusing. Time-consuming.
Some of us have to pay hundreds of dollars and wait weeks just to serve in a new city.
What HB 2844 would do:
• ONE statewide permit that covers fire, health & business
• $150 cap on permit fees
• Uniform rules across all of Texas
• Limits local overreach (no more crazy extra requirements)
• Faster appeals if you’re unfairly denied
This bill helps us move freely, cook legally, and GROW our businesses without a mountain of red tape.

BUT HERE’S THE THING:
You don’t have to own a food truck to care about this.
Maybe one day you’ll want to start one — or maybe your bestie, cousin, or kid will.
This bill protects the future of mobile food businesses in Texas.
Whether you’re behind the grill, placing the order, or dreaming up your truck name — this affects YOU.
