There is hereby adopted the "City of Pearland Food and Food Handlers Code," which shall
consist of the most recent version of the Texas Administrative Code, Title 25, Part 1, Chapter

Food & Drug Administration’s FDA Food Code, the City adopts the language and definitions
from that document, as adopted in Chapter 228.
Sec. 11-2. – Local amendments.
The food and food handlers code adopted in section 11-1 is hereby modified as follows:
(a) The following provisions are added:
1. 228.2(31)—Code Enforcement/Health Officer. A City Code Enforcement
Supervisor, or his/her designee, assigned to inspect food establishments,
educate food establishments' employees and food employees on local and state
statutory requirements for health and safety in food service, and enforce all local
and state health and safety laws as permitted by law.
2. 228.2(32)—Temporary food establishment. A food establishment that operates a
stand or booth at one or more permitted events or celebrations for a period of no
more than fourteen (14) consecutive days per event. A temporary food
establishment permit allows the establishment to serve foods including
time/temperature controlled for safety (TCS) foods listed on the original
application, until the expiration of the permit. A mobile food unit is not a

ORDINANCE NO. 1635
Secs. 11-3—11-20. - Reserved.
ARTICLE II. FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS
Sec. 11-21. Inspections.
(1) A code enforcement/health officer shall inspect each food establishment within the City of
Pearland at least every twelve (12) months, and he/she shall make as many additional
inspections as are necessary for the enforcement of this chapter. Additional inspections
may be risk-based, at the request of the food establishment, or in response to complaints.
(2) The code enforcement/health officer, after proper identification, shall be permitted to enter
any food establishment at any reasonable time, for the purpose of making inspections to
determine compliance with this chapter. The code enforcement/health officer shall be
permitted to examine the records of the establishment to obtain information pertaining to
food and supplies purchased, received, or used, or to persons employed.
(3) The findings of a food establishment’s inspection shall be recorded in an inspection report,
and a copy of each inspection report with number score and corresponding letter grade
shall be provided to the person in charge of the establishment. It is the responsibility of the
person in charge to post the food establishment’s most recent letter grade upon an inside
wall or window near the main public entrance of the establishment, in a location readily
visible to consumers. The inspection report must be posted in a conspicuous location.
Such report and letter grade shall not be defaced or removed by any person except the
code enforcement/health officer. Any person, firm, or corporation who fails to properly post
the inspection report and the corresponding letter grade as required, or who improperly
defaces or removes the report or letter grade, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and shall, upon conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction, be assessed fines or other
punishment as provided by this Code.
(4) Any food establishment wishing to proactively request a reinspection may pay a
reinspection fee and will receive a follow-up inspection within ten (10) business days. The
inspection report, numerical score, and letter grade will be replaced with the information
from the most recent inspection. Such proactive reinspection may only occur once per
establishment per twelve (12) months.
(5) Any food establishment scoring seventy-five (75) or below on an inspection must pay a
reinspection fee and receive a follow-up inspection within ten (10) business days. Failure to
pay the reinspection fee prior to reinspection, or a second score of seventy-five (75) or
below on an inspection, shall result in an order to immediately cease all food service
operations. Any person, firm, or food establishment proven to have failed to immediately
cease all food service operations upon an order from the city shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction, be assessed
fines or other punishment as provided by this Code.
(6) If a food establishment located at permanent premises is being inspected for the first time
by a city code enforcement/health officer, a permit may not be issued until the location has
passed final inspections by the code enforcement/health officer, building official, and the
fire marshal, or their respective designees. If a food establishment changes ownership,
makes changes to the type of food establishment being operated, or significantly remodels
the permanent premises, a new inspection by the city code enforcement/health officer is
Docusign Envelope ID: 23096C5F-DD46-417E-B4B2-5EA1A94F366A
ORDINANCE NO. 1635
required. A food establishment may not store food, prepare food for, or serve food to the
public until the permit has been issued.
(7) If a food establishment operating or applying to operate at a permanent location fails to
appear for a scheduled inspection or cancels a scheduled inspection with less than twenty-
four (24) hours’ notice, payment of the reinspection fee must be made in full before a
second inspection will be scheduled.
(8) For a food establishment operating as a mobile food unit (MFU), a code
enforcement/health officer will only permit the MFU after all other inspections required for
the specific type of MFU being operated have been completed and approval has been
given by the inspecting entities. If the MFU fails a second inspection by the code
enforcement/health officer, fails to appear for two scheduled inspections, or cancels two
scheduled inspections with less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice, payment of a
reinspection fee must be made in full before a subsequent inspection by the code
enforcement/health officer will be scheduled.
(9) For a food establishment operating as a temporary food service establishment, all
violations found during application review shall be corrected prior to permit approval, and
all violations shall be corrected immediately when found during any inspection made in
connection with a permitted event. If violations are not corrected, the code
enforcement/health officer may deny or suspend the permit. Any person, firm, or
establishment who is found to operate, or to have failed to immediately cease operations
upon denial or suspension of temporary food service permit shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction, be assessed
fines or other punishment as provided by this Code.
Sec. 11-22. Permits required.
No person shall operate a food establishment who does not possess a valid permit issued
to him/her by the code enforcement/health officer. Such permits shall be known as a "food
establishment permit", a "temporary food establishment permit", or a "mobile food unit permit",
hereinafter referred to collectively as "permit", "permits", or "food permits". Only a person who
complies with the requirements of this chapter shall be entitled to receive or retain such a
permit. Permits are not transferable from one (1) person or place to another person or place. A
valid permit shall be posted in view of the public in every food establishment and every
temporary food establishment. All food permits shall remain the property of the City of Pearland
and shall be issued in compliance with state law.
(1) Any person desiring to obtain a food establishment permit shall make written
application for such permit on forms provided at the city's permits department or on
the city's website. Such application shall include the applicant's full name and mailing
address; the location of proposed food establishment; and the signature of the
applicant or applicants.
(2) Any person desiring to obtain a temporary food establishment permit shall make
written application for such permit on forms provided at the city’s permits department
or on the city’s website. In addition to the information listed in subsection (1) above,

food manager certificate; the floor plan of the temporary food establishment when set
up at events; the complete menu of food served by the temporary food establishment;

telephone number of the owner or owners of the property where the temporary food
service establishment is to be located. Permits for temporary food establishments
shall be issued for a period beginning on the date of issuance and ending on the last
day of the month of issuance in the following calendar year. The temporary food
establishment permit expires on the last day of the twelfth month after the permit was
issued.
(3) Any person desiring to obtain a mobile food unit permit shall make written application
for such permit on forms provided at the city's permits department or on the city's
website. In addition to the information listed in subsection (1) above, such application
shall include the physical address where the mobile food unit is stationed when not in
use; the business name and address of the central preparation facility or other fixed
food service establishment where the potentially hazardous food supplies are
obtained; the address of the servicing area; a description of the mobile food unit which
includes the manufacturer's make, model, and the vehicle's state registration number.
(4) The code enforcement/health officer shall issue the appropriate permit to the applicant
if inspection reveals that the proposed food establishment complies with the
requirements of this chapter.
Sec. 11-23. Mobile food units.
(1) Any person desiring to operate one (1) or more mobile food units shall obtain an individual
permit for each operating mobile food unit from the code enforcement/health officer. Each
permit will be issued unit-by-unit only after an inspection reveals satisfactory compliance
with state law and this chapter as applicable. Such permit shall remain the property of the
City of Pearland.
(2) No person shall operate or cause to be operated any mobile food unit which does not
possess a valid permit issued by the code enforcement/health officer. Any person, firm, or
establishment who is found to have operated or caused to be operated a mobile food unit
without a valid mobile food unit permit shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall,
upon conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction, be assessed fines or other
punishment as provided by this Code.
(3) Such permit shall be affixed by the code enforcement/health officer on the mobile food unit
in a conspicuous place where it can be viewed by patrons. A permit shall set forth the
business name, state registration number, mobile food unit permit number, and expiration
date for said permit.
(4) Every mobile food unit must be readily identifiable by its business name and phone number
that are printed, permanently affixed, and prominently displayed on the back of the unit and
on the side of the unit from which food is served, in letters not less than three (3) inches in
height.
(5) Permitted mobile food units shall operate in compliance with all regulations of the Unified
Development Code as adopted by the City Council. A person who fails to operate in
compliance with the Unified Development Code shall be deemed guilty of a Class C
misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction, be assessed
fines or other punishment as provided by this Code.

Sec. 11-24. Fees.
At the time of issuance of an original food establishment permit, temporary food
establishment permit, or mobile food unit permit, and each renewal thereof, the person
requesting the permit shall pay to the city a permit fee. Except as otherwise provided, permit
fees shall be determined according to the schedule found in Ord. 1358 as it may be amended
from time to time.
Sec. 11-25. Permit valid for one year.
All food permits issued under this chapter shall be issued for a maximum of twelve (12)
months.
(1) Food establishment permits are valid for the calendar year issued and expire on December
31 of the year issued. Submission of the proper application and any required fee(s) are
required for issuance of new food service permits. Establishments obtaining a new food
service permit after January 31 of a calendar year will be charged a permit fee prorated on
a monthly basis.
(2) Mobile food unit and temporary food establishment permits shall be issued for a period of
twelve (12) months beginning on the date of issuance. The mobile food unit and temporary
food establishment permits expire on the last day of the twelfth month after the permit was
issued. Submission of the proper application and any required fee(s) are required for
issuance of new mobile food unit or temporary food establishment permits. The process to
obtain a mobile food unit or a temporary food establishment permit is the same whether it
is a new application, or the applicant has previously applied for a permit.
(3) Food establishments renewing food establishment permits will be charged the standard fee
for the type of permit being requested until January 31, or the first business day after
January 31. If an establishment wishing to renew a food service permit submits the
application and/or fee(s) after that time, it will be charged one- and one-half times the
original permit fee.
Sec. 11-26. Suspension of permit.
(1) The city code enforcement/health officer may suspend any permit issued under this chapter
with such notice as is reasonable under the circumstances, if the permit holder does not
comply with the requirements of this article, or if the operation of the food establishment,
mobile food unit, or temporary food establishment otherwise constitutes a substantial
hazard to public health. Suspension is effective upon service of the notice required by
subsection (2) below. Where a permit is suspended, food service operations shall
immediately cease.
(2) Whenever a permit is suspended, notice shall be given to the permit holder or the person in
charge of any employee or agent of the food establishment or mobile food unit. Such notice
shall set forth:
(a) The specific conditions in the food establishment, mobile food unit, or temporary food
establishment which are in violation of this chapter or the specific conditions which
constitute a substantial hazard to public health, and

ORDINANCE NO. 1635
(b) That the permit holder may file with the municipal court a request for a hearing within
three (3) business days after the permit is suspended, but that if the food
establishment is allowed to reopen before the hearing is held, the hearing will be
cancelled,
(c) That, if a hearing is held, the permit holder must appear in person and/or may be
represented by counsel, and his/her counsel may present testimony and may cross-
examine all witnesses.
(3) Whenever a food establishment permit is suspended, it may be physically removed from
the premises by the code enforcement/health officer and retained at the office of the code
enforcement/health officer until the suspension has been lifted or modified.
(4) Whenever a mobile food unit permit is suspended, the code enforcement/health officer
shall physically remove the permit from the mobile food unit.
(5) All hearings shall be held in the municipal court and presided over by a municipal court
judge. All hearings shall be, as much as practicable, conducted pursuant to the Texas
Rules of Civil Procedure. If the permit holder fails to appear at the hearing at the time,
place, and date specified, the city shall present sufficient evidence to establish a prima
facie case showing violation of this chapter or conditions constituting a hazard to public
health which formed the basis of the suspension of the permit.
(6) If the municipal court finds that the food establishment was, in fact, in violation of this
chapter or that it constituted a hazard to public health, the court shall make written findings
of fact and shall order the permit suspended until all violations of this chapter are corrected
and any conditions constituting a hazard to public health are eliminated. A copy of the
findings and order of the court shall be either given to the responsible party upon
conclusion of the hearing, or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the permit
holder. If the municipal court finds that the public interest will be adequately protected by a
warning or other penalties authorized under this chapter, it may reinstate the permit.
(7) Whenever the reasons for a suspension no longer exist, the permit holder or the person in
charge shall notify the code enforcement/health officer that the conditions under which the
permit was suspended have been corrected and that an inspection is requested. Upon
receipt of request and payment of any required reinspection fee, such inspection shall be
conducted as soon as possible and in no event, no later than three (3) business days after
the receipt of the request for inspection.
(8) When a mobile food unit permit which has been suspended is reinstated, a new permit
shall be affixed to the unit. A reinstated permit shall include all of the same information as
that which appeared on the permit, which was suspended, and shall not be reinstated until
a reinspection has been completed and any required reinspection fee(s) paid.
Sec. 11-27. Revocation of permit.
(1) A food establishment permit, mobile food unit, or temporary food establishment permit may
be revoked if:
(a) The permit holder or his/her agents or employees interfere with an inspection of the
food establishment by the code enforcement/health officer or his/her authorized
agents; or
Docusign Envelope ID: 23096C5F-DD46-417E-B4B2-5EA1A94F366A
ORDINANCE NO. 1635
(b) There are repeated or serious violations of the applicable portions of this chapter or
other applicable laws; or
(c) There are repeated or serious violations of federal or state food laws or laws
regulating food establishments as defined in this chapter; or
(d) In the case of mobile food units, the permit holder or his/her agent has not reported
an accident to the code enforcement/health officer within twenty-four (24) hours of the
time the accident occurred, if such accident resulted in damage to the fire
suppression system, water system, waste retention tank, food service equipment, or
any facility or equipment which may result in the contamination of the food being
carried.
(2) Prior to revocation, written notice shall be given to the permit holder or person in charge.
Such notice shall set forth:
(a) The grounds upon which the city will seek revocation of the permit, including any
specific violations of this chapter or of federal or state law upon which the city will rely
in seeking revocation of the permit.
(b) That a hearing, if requested, will be held before the municipal court. If the permit
holder wishes to request a hearing, s/he must do so within three (3) business days
after the permit is revoked, and
(c) That the permit holder may appear in person and/or be represented by counsel, may
present testimony, and may cross-examine all witnesses.
(3) Such hearing shall be held in accordance with this chapter. If the permit holder fails to
appear at the hearing at the time, place, and date specified, the city shall present sufficient
evidence to establish a prima facie case showing that an act or acts have been committed
which constitute ground(s) for revocation of a permit.
(4) After completion of the hearing, the court shall make written findings as to whether grounds
exist for revocation of the permit. If the court finds that grounds do exist for revocation of
the permit, he/she shall revoke such. If the permit holder appears at the hearing, a copy of
the court's findings shall be given to that person. If the permit holder does not appear at the
hearing, a copy of the court's findings shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt
requested, to the permit holder. If the address of the permit holder is unknown, or if such
findings are returned undelivered, such findings shall be served on the person in charge of
the food establishment, mobile food unit, or temporary food establishment. Upon service of
a written notice that the permit has been revoked as provided herein, all food operations
permitted by the permit shall cease immediately. Any person, firm, or food establishment
proven to have failed to immediately cease all food service operations upon an order from
the city shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction by a court of
competent jurisdiction, be assessed fines or other punishment as provided by this Code.
(5) Whenever a permit is revoked, it shall be physically removed from the premises or mobile
food unit by the code enforcement/health officer.
(6) In the event a permit is revoked, the city shall not be liable to the permit holder for any
refund of any part of the permit fee. Reinstatement of a permit which has been revoked
shall require application and payment of a permit fee as if it were an initial application.

provisions of this chapter.
(3) Any person, permit holder, or person in charge who violates any provision of this chapter

enforcement/health officer to report minor violations of this chapter for prosecution
whenever the code enforcement/health officer believes the public interest will be
adequately served in the circumstances by a warning.
A permit holder shall ensure that the food establishment or mobile food unit is always in full
compliance with this chapter.
The person in charge shall ensure that the food establishment is operated in full

this Ordinance and amendments thereto shall be and are preserved for the benefit of the City.
Section 4. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of
this Ordinance is for any reason held invalid, unconstitutional or otherwise unenforceable by any
court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct, and
independent provision and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions
thereof.
