A new Senate Bill gives food establishments the ability to allow dogs in their outside dining areas as long as certain conditions are met.
Due to the new bill, the San Marcos City Council repealed section 18.120 of the San Marcos Code of Ordinance during their meeting Monday, which established a variance process to allow dogs in outside areas of restaurants.
“San Marcos has a very pet-friendly atmosphere and it’s great that the new state law allows pet owners across Texas to dine with their loyal four-legged friends without a separate local ordinance being enacted,” Stacy Wright, Environmental Health Manager said in a press release. “This should be good news to both food establishments with outdoor dining areas and pet owners who frequent those businesses.”
