South Padre Island Food Truck Caps Unconstitutional

South Padre Island, TX had set limits on the number of food truck permits at 12 and required permission from a restaurant owner.

How did South Padre Island get there? Until 2016, the island banned food trucks. Then with local restaurant lobbying adopted the cap and approval requirement.

Similar rules have been overturned in  San Antonio, El Paso and Louisville.
