When a TABC alcohol license is suspended or revoked, the business faces severe consequences that can disrupt operations. A license suspension typically means the business is prohibited from selling alcohol for a specific period, which can lead to significant revenue loss. The suspension may result from serious violations, such as repeated sales to minors or serving alcohol during prohibited hours. Revocation of a license is even more severe and typically occurs in response to major offenses or a pattern of violations. A business whose license is revoked will no longer be able to sell alcohol unless they reapply for a new license and meet all the necessary requirements. If a business is facing suspension or revocation, a TABC attorney plays a critical role in defending against these actions. The attorney will review the reasons for the suspension or revocation, gather supporting evidence, and build a defense. In some cases, the attorney may argue that the business took corrective actions, such as additional employee training or implementing new procedures, to prevent further violations. The attorney can also negotiate with the TABC for a reduction in penalties or an alternative to license suspension. If necessary, the attorney will represent the business in hearings and appeals to challenge the suspension or revocation. Through this process, a TABC attorney can help the business navigate the legal complexities and work toward minimizing the impact on its operations.
