Our Services
License & Permit Selection & Strategic Planning
Choosing the correct TABC license is one of the most important decisions you will make when launching or expanding an alcoholic beverage business in Texas. We evaluate your business model, location, ownership structure, and revenue plans to determine the best license or permit for your operation. Our team explains the differences between retail, manufacturing, distribution, and carrier authorizations and ensures you are not over-licensed, under-licensed, or unintentionally violating tied-house rules.

License/Permit eligibility verification

Business use modeling (on-premise, off-premise, production, shipping, events)

Compliance risk review

Recommended licensing path & timeline
AIMS Account Setup & Online Filing

Product Registration & Label Approval
Before most alcoholic beverages may be sold in Texas, they must be product-registered with TABC—after obtaining federal label approval (COLA) when required. We manage end-to-end registration, ensure labeling, formula, and marketing statements meet Texas requirements, and respond promptly to agency information requests.

Temporary Events, Festivals & Special Use Permits
Texas allows multiple permit types for short-term and multi-day alcohol events including tastings, fundraisers, concerts, and festivals. We determine which authorization applies (TEA, NT, FUN, etc.), prepare filing documents, and ensure that event staff remain compliant with service rules.

-
AIMS filing or form preparation
