The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) is a state agency that regulates the alcoholic beverage industry in Texas. The duties of the commission include regulating sales, taxation, importation, manufacturing, transporting, and advertising of alcoholic beverages. The TABC suggests that all managers, supervisors, bartenders, servers working in restaurants and/or catering environments, and anyone who sells, serves, dispenses, or delivers alcohol should be certified to do so. Most restaurant and bar owners depend on their alcohol licenses. If the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) threatens to suspend your license, our Dallas TABC lawyers can assist you in protecting your TABC license.

• Serving alcohol to a minor;
• Servicing alcohol to an intoxicated person;
• Failure to report a breach of the peace; and
