What is a Texas Alcohol License?
A TABC license is for businesses that need a permit to operate legally, while TABC certifications are for individuals.
Examples of different types of liquor permits include brewers, caterers, package stores, brewpubs, wineries, and many more. The TABC licensing division processes applications for permits and investigates potential violations from licensees.
Who needs a Texas Alcohol License?
While a TABC license allows employers and owners to serve and sell alcohol for their business, employees must earn a TABC certification.
If your job involves selling, serving, dispensing, or delivering alcoholic beverages, getting your TABC certification ensures that you have completed training and understand the relevant state laws.
While TABC does not administer the course, the agency approves private institutions offering training programs.
You can complete a short online alcohol seller-server training course from an approved provider to get a TABC certification. Then, your employer can confirm your certification on the TABC website.
