PFLUGERVILLE, Texas — The City of Pflugerville announced Tuesday they are launching a Pfood Truck Pilot Program to test out food trucks in the city.
Before this program, food trucks were only allowed to operate at special events on specific days, but this new program allows trucks to set up on a regular basis.

Here are some of the pilot program highlights:
- Vendors may operate at any existing commercially-zoned property, religious facility or HOA-owned property when the owner’s consent is obtained.
- Operators shall have a valid Pflugerville food establishment permit and must be annually permitted through the City of Pflugerville and fire department.
- Seating, shade and venue space for other activities are encouraged provided they are not located in the fire lane, drive aisle, right of way or occupying other parking spaces in a way that may cause conflicts with providing sufficient parking for the principal use, and are removed when the vendor vacates the area.
The program's planning director said the goal of this program is to define the process needed for food trucks to properly operate in Pflugerville.
“This pilot program -- which runs until the end of the year -- will provide us with feedback and needed information to return to City Council with more permanent recommendations,” said Planning Director Emily Barron in a statement.
The program will run through December and city staff will discuss the results and findings with the city council.
Food truck and trailer vendors wanting to take part in the program will need to go to the Development Services Center offices Aug. 13 or Aug. 20 to obtain a free permit and health inspection from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.
