Judge temporarily shuts down Houston food truck park due to community complaints
October 6, 2025
Judge Cory Don Sepolio of Harris County has ordered the Galleria Food Truck Park to shut down in Houston through a temporary restraining order. This move comes after community complaints that the site was both a public nuisance and a center for criminal activity, according to a report by Yahoo! News.
The city complains that the food truck park was often open until 4 a.m., which led to illegal gambling and increased food traffic. Other complaints include a drive-by shooting in August 2023, vandalism in October 2024 and health code violations.
The city also plans to file a permanent injunction to shut down the food truck park for good.
Owner Catherine Mehrinfar said she doesn't plan to fight the city lawsuit.
