Failing to renew a TABC alcohol license on time can result in significant risks for a business. If the renewal application is not submitted before the expiration of the current license, the business may lose its legal right to serve or sell alcohol, which can severely impact operations, especially for businesses that rely on alcohol sales for a significant portion of their revenue. In addition to losing the ability to sell alcohol, businesses may face penalties for operating without a valid license, including fines, temporary closures, or suspension of alcohol sales. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) is strict about ensuring businesses adhere to renewal deadlines, and failing to renew on time can damage the business’s reputation and lead to increased scrutiny. A TABC attorney plays a key role in ensuring the renewal process is completed on time and that all required documentation is submitted accurately. The attorney will also check for any outstanding issues, such as previous violations or necessary updates to the business’s information, that could complicate the renewal. In the event that a business’s license expires before renewal, the TABC attorney can assist in applying for a temporary license while the renewal application is processed, helping the business continue operations legally. If a business faces penalties for a late renewal, the attorney can negotiate with the TABC to reduce fines or avoid a suspension, protecting the business from severe disruptions.
