Yes, a TABC attorney can help businesses navigate zoning issues when applying for an alcohol license. In Texas, local zoning laws play an important role in determining whether a business can obtain an alcohol license. These laws regulate where alcohol can be sold or consumed, and each city or county may have its own set of zoning rules. If a business is located in an area where alcohol sales are restricted or prohibited, the TABC attorney can help determine if there are any exceptions or workarounds. For instance, some areas may have specific zoning districts where alcohol sales are allowed, while others may require a variance or special permission to operate legally. The attorney will assess the zoning ordinances in the relevant area and help ensure that the business complies with both local and state laws. If the business is in a location that does not comply with zoning laws, the attorney can assist in seeking a zoning change or applying for a variance. In some cases, the attorney may be able to advocate for the business before the local zoning board or city council to request approval for an alcohol permit in a specific location. The attorney’s role is to ensure that all local zoning issues are addressed during the alcohol license application process, helping the business avoid delays or rejections based on zoning conflicts.
