Lone Star Permit

The Texas state food stamp permit, otherwise known as the Lone Star Permit, is required by any establishment that accepts the State of Texas Lone Star Card. There is no yearly cost, however, there is a tedious and detailed application process to consider.

The ability to accept food stamp payments provides additional revenue streams and can significantly boost profits in the Texas marketplace. Acquiring a Lone Star Permit is required before your business can accept the Texas Lone Star Card.

This debit card is issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and allows cardholders to access the following programs:

• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
• Texas Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)

The Lone Star Card operates like a standard bank debit card and requires specialized EBT equipment for retailers to accept payments.

At Lone Star Liquor Licensing, we provide specialized assistance to help you obtain your Texas liquor license and gain approval to accept food stamp payments.

Meeting the requirements to accept SNAP and TANF payments is a long and detail-oriented process. Working with us can help accelerate your application and ensure compliance with both federal and state regulations.

• Meeting USDA requirements to accept SNAP payments
• Applying for free EBT equipment (for qualifying businesses)
• Submitting applications to accept both TANF and SNAP payments in Texas

To qualify for SNAP/USDA approval, your business must meet one of the following criteria:

• Sell at least three qualifying food items across the four primary food groups, with at least three being perishable
• Generate at least 50% of retail revenue from the sale of eligible USDA food items

Meeting these requirements can be challenging and time-consuming. Working with experienced professionals who understand the process of obtaining a Houston Beer License or food stamp authorization can help you navigate the certification process efficiently.
