can I give away samples?

[Pinky]

So I'm located in a residential neighborhood and I was recently approved for a take-out license from the neighbors and the city. However, I'm 99% away from the final sign off from the city which should happen. The problem is that the meeting is a month away.

At the moment I just sell candy and awaiting the final signatures and health inspector check for the official take-out license to sell drinks.

Would it be okay to give away sample coffee drinks like a promotion before the sign off?

Call the Health Dept. and pose the question.
Anonymous if need be.

In Texas yes you can. It is kind of like driving and having no insurance though. If somebody tries to sue you, you are hung out to dry.

Thanks, it'll just be on weekends for about 2 weeks.
