Local health officials will now play a role in inspections for food trucks. This development comes after the Waco City Council made a decision. The council's action involves an agreement with a state agency.
As a result, inspectors in the area will be involved in the process. Further information about this contract and its implications can be found through the Texas Department of State Health Services or local news sources, such as the Waco Tribune-Herald.
