Texas SNAP Food Benefits

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps people buy the food they need for good health. People also can buy garden seeds with SNAP benefits. SNAP food benefits are put on a Lone Star Card and can be used just like a credit card at any store that accepts SNAP.

SNAP can’t be used to:

• Buy tobacco.

• Buy alcoholic drinks.

• Buy things you can't eat or drink.

• Pay for food bills you owe.

You can also use your SNAP benefits to buy food online.
