*If your business requires a permit from the Health Department to operate, you will need to complete the "Food & Beverage Truck/ Booth Application".

*Please note our Holiday Christmas Market application will be available in August. 

Welcome to The Market LHTX! This application is for businesses that prepare or serve food or beverages on-site and therefore require a Health Department permit to operate during the market.

This includes, but is not limited to:

• Food trucks and trailers
• Coffee trucks or coffee booths
• Lemonade or beverage stands (fresh-squeezed, dirty sodas, etc.)
• Kettle corn, cotton candy, popcorn, or similar prepared-on-site foods
• Any food or beverage operation requiring health permits, regardless of setup type

Please note:

• Businesses selling pre-packaged, cottage food items (no on-site preparation) should complete the Vendor Application, not this one.
• Health permits, insurance, and additional documentation may be required prior to approval
  Space is limited, and selections are made based on menu variety, setup needs, and market balance
• If your business requires a Health Department permit to operate, this is the correct application for you.
