A TABC attorney can help businesses comply with alcohol service regulations when hosting special events where alcohol will be served. Special events, such as festivals, weddings, or corporate gatherings, often require a specific type of permit, such as a special event permit or a caterer’s permit, depending on the nature of the event and the alcohol being served. The attorney will help businesses apply for the necessary permits from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC), ensuring that all required documents are included, such as event details, insurance certificates, and proof of staff training. Additionally, the attorney will guide the event organizers in understanding and adhering to alcohol service regulations, including the hours during which alcohol can be served, the types of alcohol that can be sold, and the age verification procedures to ensure that minors are not served. The attorney will also ensure that the event complies with any local zoning restrictions, as some areas may have specific rules for alcohol service during events. If any objections or concerns are raised by local authorities or law enforcement regarding the event, the TABC attorney can represent the business in hearings to resolve the issue and ensure the event can proceed as planned. By assisting in the planning and application process, a TABC attorney helps businesses ensure compliance with alcohol laws and avoid potential fines or penalties.
