Texas Police Shut Down Little Girls “Illegal” Lemonade Stand


The reason for the shutdown? They didn’t have an official city permit.

Texas House Bill 970, or the Texas Baker’s Bill, which does not allow the sale of food that needs time or temperature control to prevent it from spoiling. Since the lemonade would eventually grow mold after being left out for days, police said they needed an inspection from the health department and a permit to sell it and deemed their operation “illegal.”

‘We didn’t really know we had to get a permit… and the cops came’, the girls said. They also stated that officers spoke with their mom, making it clear that they ‘won’t be able to sell any more lemonade’.
