Selling Food to the Public Runs Through Environmental Health

The Environmental Health office is at 313 North Rachal Avenue in Sinton. Gabriel Arroyo is listed as director, and the main phone is (361) 587-3500.

This is the county counter for food work. It handles plan review for restaurants, temporary food guidance, mobile food unit rules, and food handler schedules. It also posts service fees and restaurant scores.

A weekend booth, food trailer, or new restaurant may need paperwork before food is sold. If the date is tied to a fair, fundraiser, or festival, call early enough to handle permits, food-handler cards, and any inspection.
