If a business disagrees with the results of a TABC audit, it has the right to challenge the findings and appeal any penalties or violations identified during the audit. The first step is for the business to carefully review the audit report and identify the specific areas of disagreement. A TABC attorney can help by analyzing the findings, reviewing the evidence, and assessing whether the TABC’s conclusions are based on accurate information. If there are discrepancies or errors in the audit report, the attorney can help the business gather additional evidence to refute the findings, such as sales records, employee statements, or security footage. In some cases, the attorney can represent the business during a hearing with the TABC to present the business’s side of the story and challenge any inaccurate claims. If the business is facing penalties or violations as a result of the audit, the attorney can negotiate with the TABC to reduce the fines or penalties or to seek a less severe consequence, such as a warning or shorter suspension period. If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation, the attorney can assist the business in filing an appeal with the TABC or a higher administrative body. Throughout the process, the TABC attorney’s goal is to protect the business’s rights, minimize any negative consequences, and ensure that the business continues to operate in full compliance with the law.
