TABC License/Permit Public Information

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission requires alcoholic beverage manufacturers, distributors, retailers, etc. to apply for licenses and permits before they may operate in the State of Texas. The TABC currently provides some information regarding licenses/permits to the public in various formats such as 8 1/2" X 11" printouts, compact discs, and files sent via e-mail for a fee. This information is updated on their web site on a weekly basis and is available through the internet for free.

·         The certification form must be the most current version.

·         All pages of the certification form must be included or the application will not be accepted for processing.
