If a business operates multiple locations and is subject to a TABC audit, a TABC attorney can provide essential assistance by helping coordinate the audit process across all locations. Each location will have its own set of records, including sales and inventory logs, employee training documentation, and operational procedures. The TABC attorney can assist in organizing these records to ensure that each location is fully compliant with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code. This includes verifying that all licenses and permits are current for each location and that the appropriate alcohol service policies are in place. The attorney will also help ensure that all records are accurate and up-to-date to prevent discrepancies that could trigger penalties. Additionally, the attorney can review the business’s operations at each location to ensure that each branch is following the same compliance practices, particularly in areas such as age verification, responsible alcohol service, and operating hours. If violations are found at one or more locations, the attorney will help prepare defenses for each location, negotiate with the TABC, and minimize penalties. The attorney can represent the business during hearings with the TABC, addressing any violations found across all locations and working to reduce the severity of penalties, such as fines or license suspensions. By coordinating the response to the audit, the TABC attorney ensures that the business is compliant across all locations and can avoid significant operational disruptions.
