Texas Moves to Ban Sodas and Candy from SNAP Purchases
Texas lawmakers have approved legislation to prohibit the use of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to buy sodas, and candy.
Governor Greg Abbott has not yet signed the bill into law, but he has submitted a formal waiver request to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which would allow Texas to implement the restrictions. If the USDA approves the waiver and Abbott signs the bill, the changes could go into effect as early as September 2025.

On April 28, 2025, the Texas House State Affairs Committee narrowly voted 7–6 to reject Senate Bill 2188 and its counterpart, House Bill 4660. These bills sought to grant SpaceX expanded authority to close Boca Chica Beach and the only access road, Texas State Highway 4, during rocket launch operations. Currently, such closures require coordination with Cameron County authorities. The proposed legislation would have shifted that control directly to SpaceX and the mayor of the proposed city of Starbase.
