The Friday scramble is the product.
Multi-city stack
Health, fire, propane, commissary, and handlers — each with its own agency and cadence.
Mismatched renewals
Annual health vs 180-day fire. One missed date and the weekend booking dies.
Packet panic
Organizers want COI + permits by Friday. Camera roll is not a vault.
Briefing · September 18, 2026
Statewide on July 1. Still Dark on Saturday.
HB 2844 gave Texas trucks one health license. It did not move the fire extinguisher, the commissary log, or the inspection that decides whether you serve this weekend.
Title page
On June 4, 2026 DSHS opened applications for the statewide mobile food vendor license. On July 1 the license became mandatory. In Houston, city medallions had already died the night before.
Operators are still losing Saturdays to a mismatched stack: an annual health license, a 180-day fire tag, a commissary agreement nobody packed, and a pre-licensing inspection that parks a new unit until it passes.

What $19 trackers skip.
Event readiness score
% of required docs present and not expired as of the event date — with a missing list you can act on.
Inspector packet
One print/PDF: truck identity, credentials table, vault summary, disclaimer. Wrong-doc guard = always truck-scoped.
TX corridor depth
Curated DSHS + Austin / Houston / Dallas rule cards with source URL and last_verified — not a fake 200-city scrape.
MCP for Ops
list_expiring_docs, get_readiness_score, get_city_checklist, export_inspector_packet, generate_compliance_pack.
Texas wedge
HB 2844 is in force. The DSHS license did not retire local fire.
Since July 1, 2026 every Texas vending vehicle needs a DSHS license. Zoning, propane, commissary, and festival lead times stayed local. We surface both layers with source-linked cards.
