Does Texas require food workers to earn a food handler card? Yes, food handlers must obtain a certificate by completing training from an approved, accredited provider.

[Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS):](https://www.dshs.texas.gov/retail-food-establishments) The DSHS oversees health and safety regulations for Texas foodservice workers and organizations, ensuring consistent compliance across the state.   [Texas Administrative Code (TAC):](https://texreg.sos.state.tx.us/public/readtac$ext.ViewTAC?tac_view=4&ti=25&pt=1&ch=228) The TAC Title 25, Part 1, Chapter 228 outlines requirements for food handlers, certified food protection managers, and retail food establishments.   Why should you take Trust20’s Texas Food Handler Certificate Training? If you work in the foodservice sector in Texas—whether it’s a restaurant, hospital, school, or any other establishment handling food—food safety is critical. Trust20's training equips food handlers with the expertise to mitigate foodborne illness risks, thereby bolstering their credibility in the job market.   Additionally, Trust20 incorporates allergen awareness into its training. This aligns with SB 812, the “Sergio Lopez Food Allergy Awareness Act,” which requires all food handler and certified food manager programs to include awareness of allergens starting September 1, 2024.   Show all **Impartiality Statement**: Trust20 understands and values the importance of impartiality in carrying out our certification activities.
