Relating to labeling and representation of imported shrimp by restaurants.

HB 1958 requires Texas restaurants serving shrimp caught outside Texas state waters (defined as shrimp caught beyond the state's submerged lands in the Gulf of Mexico) to inform customers about the shrimp's origin. Restaurants must either post a visible notice in the dining area or include the notice on their menu. The requirement does not take effect until March 1, 2026, though the law becomes effective September 1, 2025. The Texas Health and Safety Code will be amended to include this rule, with the executive commissioner tasked to develop implementing regulations.
