Try it freeTexas requires food handler training statewide through a single DSHS-accredited system, so the course content is consistent no matter which approved provider you use — but the actual test questions hinge on specific numbers (temperature danger zone, cooking temps by food type, hand-washing steps) that are easy to blur together. Cambo reads the exact question and explains the specific rule or number behind the right answer.
Yes. Under Texas Health and Safety Code §438.046, a food handler certificate from any DSHS-accredited (or ANSI/ANAB-accredited) training program is recognized statewide — local jurisdictions can't require an additional local-specific card or registration fee on top of it.
This varies by accredited provider, since Texas doesn't mandate one single statewide test — most accredited courses use a short quiz (commonly around 20–40 questions) with a passing score in the 70–75% range, administered at the end of the course.

Generally, any employee who works with unpackaged food, food equipment, or food-contact surfaces in a Texas food establishment, unless they already hold an accredited food manager certification, which covers the food handler requirement.
It depends on the destination state's own rules — some states honor an ANSI-accredited card from another state, others require their own. Texas itself grants reciprocity to out-of-state cards only if the issuing program is ANSI-accredited.
