Official Texas DSHS License TX81 Approval

When searching for a Texas Food Handlers card, it is crucial to ensure your provider is fully vetted. ACE Food Handler operates under License TX81, granted by the Texas Department of State Health Services. This means our curriculum covers essential safety topics such as time and temperature control for safety (TCS) foods, cross-contamination prevention, and personal hygiene protocols—all verified to meet the rigorous standards of the state. Having a DSHS-approved certificate means your employer and the local health department can trust that you have received the highest level of food safety education available.

Why SB 1089 Matters for Texas Restaurant Workers

One of the most significant advantages of our program is its compliance with Texas Senate Bill 1089 (SB 1089). Before this legislation was passed, many cities and counties required workers to pay additional local registration fees or take extra steps to validate their certificates within specific jurisdictions. Thanks to SB 1089, your ACE Food Handler card is valid in every single city and county across the Great State of Texas. You no longer have to pay “hidden” local fees or register your card with a local health department. One card, one price, and complete statewide validity. This makes our $7 course the most cost-effective and portable option for professionals who may move between different municipalities for work.
