HB 1200 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to notice provided by food service establishments serving shrimp imported from outside of the United States.

HB 1200 requires Texas food service establishments serving shrimp imported from outside the U.S. to provide customers with a clear notice about the shrimp's origin. Establishments must display this notice either prominently in the dining area or on their menu. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, but businesses won't need to comply until September 1, 2026. The executive commissioner must create rules to implement this requirement. This directly affects restaurants and food service businesses selling imported shrimp in Texas.
