Understanding Texas DSHS and TABC Compliance

In San Antonio, every food service employee must possess a valid Food Handler card within 30 days of employment. Furthermore, any professional serving alcohol requires TABC certification to mitigate liability and adhere to “Safe Harbor” laws. Our San Antonio Food Handler and TABC Combo (License TX81 and 659-745) satisfies these legal obligations under a single curriculum. This helps River Walk servers, bartenders, and kitchen staff get certified quickly without the hassle of multiple logins or disparate providers. Total compliance means you can focus on providing world-class service to the millions of tourists visiting San Antonio each year without worrying about a surprise inspection.

Streamlined Certification for River Walk Professionals

The city’s vibrant tourism industry moves fast, and your onboarding should too. This bundle is 100% online, mobile-friendly, and self-paced, allowing you to study between shifts or on the go. Once you complete the modules, you can immediately download your certificates for your employer’s records. Remember, under Texas SB 1089, you no longer need to pay local health department fees in San Antonio to register your state-approved Food Handler card. Your $14 investment covers everything needed for official compliance across the entire state of Texas. Be sure to apply the discount code **ace10** at the checkout to maximize your savings.
