A TABC attorney specializes in handling legal issues related to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code, which governs the sale, distribution, and consumption of alcohol in the state of Texas. These attorneys work closely with businesses such as bars, restaurants, liquor stores, and distributors to ensure they remain compliant with the complex set of regulations set forth by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC). They assist in securing or renewing alcohol licenses and permits, which are required for any business that sells or serves alcohol. Additionally, a TABC attorney may represent clients in cases involving alcohol-related offenses, including underage sales, over-serving, or operating without a valid license. Their role includes providing legal advice to businesses on the best practices for alcohol sales, ensuring adherence to state and local laws. If a business faces an investigation or charges by the TABC, the attorney will defend the client’s rights and work toward minimizing penalties or defending against accusations. TABC attorneys also handle hearings before the TABC, appeals for denied licenses, and assist in mitigating any legal risks associated with alcohol sales. Their goal is to ensure that businesses stay compliant while reducing legal exposure. Whether dealing with routine license renewals, facing accusations of violations, or seeking to open a new alcohol-serving establishment, a TABC attorney’s expertise is invaluable. They navigate the intricacies of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code to help businesses stay operational and avoid costly mistakes.
