Why It Matters
The official regulations are important — but they aren't always easy to understand. This Success Kit organizes the information into a practical, step-by-step resource so you can spend less time decoding regulations and more time preparing your business.
A Real Preview: The "Before You Submit" Checklist
This is the checklist that catches what actually delays applications — missing CPF authorization letters, mismatched tank sizing, incomplete certifications. A sample from inside the Kit:
- ✓ CPF authorization letter and most recent inspection report on hand
- ✓ Wastewater tank sized at least 15% larger than potable water tank
- ✓ Food manager and food handler certifications current
- ✓ Variance letter for water fill-up and wastewater disposal
- ✓ Vehicle registration and TXDOT loaded weight record on hand
Where This Fits
Your $29 Success Kit purchase credits the full purchase price toward your Permit Readiness Review — the guide is where most operators start, not where they have to stop.
Common Questions
Is the Success Kit enough to get licensed on my own?
For many operators, yes — it covers everything DSHS requires. If your situation is more complex (CPF exemption questions, an unusual MFV type, or a past compliance issue), the Kit's full price is credited toward a Permit Readiness Review with a real consultant.
Does the Success Kit come in Spanish?
Yes. Available in both English and Spanish, written in natural, Valley-appropriate Spanish rather than a literal translation.
What's included besides the guide?
Lifetime updates for this edition, the full purchase price credited toward a Permit Readiness Review, and free revisions emailed during the HB 2844 transition period.
How is this different from the free blog content?
The blog covers individual topics in depth. The Success Kit is the whole picture in one place, organized in the order you actually need it — from figuring out your MFV type through your final pre-submission check.
