Omar Estrada has served in public healthcare for ten years, the last four of which have been spent with ACCHD. He graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Arts & Sciences from Stephen F. Austin State University in 2017, and he holds an Associate of Applied Science in Pharmacy Technology and a CPhT Certification from Angelina College. He’s also a graduate of Central High School, Class of 2002.

As the Environmental Director and Health Inspector, Omar is dedicated to safeguarding the health and safety of Angelina County residents. His department plays a pivotal role in overseeing a wide array of food establishments, from restaurants and food trucks to grocery stores, schools and group homes, as well as piercing shops, commercial lodging, swimming pools and spas. This oversight includes conducting plan reviews for new establishments, processing establishment applications, managing financial transactions related to fees and payments, responding to inquiries from the public, and preparing detailed health inspection reports. Additionally, they actively investigate reports of foodborne illnesses and address any complaints regarding health and safety standards at establishments within their jurisdiction.

Omar says everything ACCHD’s Environmental Health Department does is aimed at protecting the well-being of residents and their goal is to “foster a safe and healthy environment for the residents of Angelina County, empowering them with confidence in the establishments they frequent.” He adds, “There will inevitably be places that have violations, and that’s okay; it's part of our job to identify those issues and ensure your safety. After all, you can’t see what’s happening in the kitchen, and that’s where we come in. When we have to close an establishment, please know it’s not a decision we take lightly. We do it because your safety is our top priority.”
