Yes, a TABC attorney can play a crucial role in defending a business that faces disciplinary action after a TABC audit. If the audit reveals violations of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code, the TABC may take disciplinary action, such as imposing fines, suspending the business’s alcohol license, or revoking the license entirely. A TABC attorney will begin by reviewing the audit findings and assessing the evidence provided by the TABC. If the violations are related to minor issues or one-time mistakes, the attorney may work to negotiate a reduction in penalties, such as arguing for a smaller fine or a shorter suspension period. The attorney can also present evidence of corrective actions the business has taken, such as implementing new policies, conducting employee training, or taking other steps to ensure future compliance. If the violations are more serious or the business has a history of non-compliance, the attorney may work to mitigate the consequences by presenting a legal defense. The attorney can represent the business in hearings with the TABC to challenge the findings, negotiate a settlement, or appeal any decisions that result in overly harsh penalties. If the business faces a license suspension or revocation, the attorney can help file an appeal and represent the business during the appeals process. The attorney’s goal is to reduce the impact of the disciplinary action, protect the business’s ability to operate, and ensure that the business remains in compliance with TABC regulations moving forward.
