A TABC audit can have a significant impact on a business’s alcohol license renewal, depending on the results of the audit. If the audit reveals violations or non-compliance with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code, the TABC may take the violations into account when deciding whether to approve the business’s license renewal. For example, if the business has failed to maintain proper records, has been cited for selling alcohol to minors, or has repeatedly violated operational regulations, the TABC may view the business as a risk and decide to deny the renewal application. In cases where the business has made improvements or implemented corrective actions following violations, a TABC attorney can work to demonstrate these efforts to the TABC, potentially helping to secure approval for the renewal. However, if the business has a pattern of violations or is currently facing severe penalties, such as an ongoing suspension or pending revocation of its alcohol license, the TABC may refuse to renew the license altogether. A TABC attorney can assist by reviewing the audit results, representing the business in hearings, and providing legal strategies to address any concerns raised by the TABC. The attorney can also help prepare the business for the renewal process by ensuring that all necessary documents are in order and that the business is in full compliance with the law. The attorney’s goal is to help the business successfully renew its alcohol license and avoid any interruptions to alcohol service.
