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.
After first being approved by the City Secretary, the County Clerk's office reviews new alcoholic beverage applications by verifying wet/dry status and license type for the location indicated on the application. This decision is based upon the results of local-option elections.
The Alcoholic Beverage Code and Rules, as well as forms, are available online through the TABC website at:
