If a business faces penalties as a result of a TABC audit, a TABC attorney can help mitigate the consequences by reviewing the findings of the audit and developing a strategy to address the violations. The first step the attorney will take is to assess the severity of the violations and the potential penalties that the TABC may impose, such as fines, license suspension, or revocation. The attorney will then gather evidence that may help reduce the penalties, such as showing that the violations were isolated incidents or that corrective actions have already been taken, like retraining employees or implementing new operational procedures. If the violations are related to minor issues, such as paperwork errors or small discrepancies, the attorney may argue that the penalties should be less severe. In cases where the violations are more serious, such as selling alcohol to minors or over-serving intoxicated customers, the attorney may work to negotiate a settlement with the TABC, potentially reducing the fine or shortening the suspension period. The attorney can represent the business during hearings with the TABC to challenge the findings of the audit and present evidence in support of the business’s case. If the business faces the revocation of its alcohol license, the attorney can help file an appeal and represent the business in hearings to challenge the decision. The goal of the TABC attorney is to minimize the financial and operational impact of the penalties and help the business continue its operations with minimal disruption.
