If a business receives a TABC license suspension notice, it is important to act swiftly and consult a TABC attorney to assess the situation. The first step is to review the notice thoroughly to understand the reason for the suspension, the length of the suspension, and any additional conditions or requirements. The TABC may suspend a license for reasons such as violations of alcohol service regulations, sales to minors, over-serving intoxicated individuals, or failure to comply with operational standards. A TABC attorney will work with the business to investigate the cause of the suspension, gather relevant evidence, and determine whether the suspension can be contested. If the suspension is based on a specific violation, the attorney will assess whether the violation was isolated or part of a broader pattern and whether the business took corrective action to prevent future violations. The attorney can represent the business in hearings with the TABC to argue for a reduced suspension period or a modification of the penalty. In some cases, the attorney may negotiate with the TABC to have the suspension lifted or shortened. If the suspension is upheld, the attorney will assist the business in preparing for the reinstatement process, ensuring that all requirements for lifting the suspension are met. The attorney’s goal is to minimize the impact of the suspension and help the business resume alcohol sales as soon as possible.
