Class Requirements
Food Handlers are now required to fill out an application and pay for the Food Handlers course at the time of the class. Class size is limited to 40 students and will be closed when that number is reached. Arrive at least 10 minutes early to secure a place in class and complete an application. The cost of the 2 hour course is $20.00. Advanced approval must be obtained for establishments that wish to be billed for employees training. For more information please call (940)761-7820.
Note:
As of June 22, 2015 Governor Abbott signed into law S.B. 582 which eliminates the authority of a local health jurisdiction to require certain fees. The law states: A food service worker trained in a food handler training course accredited by the American National Standards Institute is considered to have met a local health jurisdiction's training, testing, and permitting requirements. A local health jurisdiction may require a food establishment to maintain on the premises of the food establishment a certificate of completion of the training course for employees of the food establishment.
