AAA Food Handler makes the process seamless: you can prepare, test, and earn a certification that meets Travis County and Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) requirements—all in one convenient system.
Do I need a food manager certification in Travis County?
Yes. Texas law (Title 25, Rule §228.33) requires every food service establishment in Travis County to employ at least one certified food protection manager who can oversee and control food preparation and service. The certificate must also be posted in a visible spot for customers to see.
