Restaurant meals
USDA's Restaurant Meals Program page does not list Texas. Prepared hot food is not a SNAP item there, unless a later approval says otherwise. We did not find one on October 16, 2026.
To use it, everyone in the SNAP home must be 60 or older, disabled, homeless, or the spouse of someone who qualifies. Source: the USDA Restaurant Meals Program page, last checked 2026-10-16.
Where to use the card
USDA publishes a live store map. We did not copy the stores onto this page. The downloadable file is a history file for 2005 through 2025, so it is not a live nearby list.
