What is a Texas Food Stamp Permit?

The Texas Food Stamp Permit allows businesses to accept SNAP benefits, commonly known as food stamps, as payment for eligible food items. This program is vital for low-income individuals and families who rely on these benefits to purchase groceries. Retailers who wish to participate in the program must apply for authorization from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC).
