Important Update: Texas Senate Bill 1008
Effective September 1, 2025, Texas Senate Bill 1008 introduces new restrictions on how local governments assess fees for food and drink establishments. Under the updated law, specifically Section 437.01235 of the Texas Health and Safety Code:
“A county, municipality, or public health district, including an authorized agent, employee, or department, may not charge a fee under Section 11.38 or 61.36, Alcoholic Beverage Code, if the premises is a food service establishment, retail food store, mobile food unit, roadside food vendor, or temporary food service establishment that has already paid a fee to operate to the department or to any county, municipality, or public health district.”
The Town of Addison will no longer charge alcohol permitting fees to the following establishments if they meet one of the following conditions:
• Food Service Establishments with a valid health permit from the Town of Addison.
• Establishments that have already paid a fee to operate as a food service establishment to the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) or any other local jurisdiction.
