Frequently Asked Questions About Texas Liquor Licensing
How much does a TABC liquor license cost in Texas?
TABC license costs vary by permit type. A Mixed Beverage Permit (MB) is $5,300 for the state fee. Additional costs include surety bonds, public notice advertising, and any required surveys. Use our cost calculator for a detailed breakdown based on your specific permit type, or contact us for a custom estimate.
How long does it take to get a TABC license?
A typical Mixed Beverage Permit takes 60 to 90 days from application submission to permit issuance. Timelines vary depending on your permit type, location, and whether any issues come up during the review process. We manage the entire TABC application process – from entity formation and local approvals through final TABC inspection – to prevent the common mistakes that cause delays.
Q3: Do I need a Mixed Beverage Permit or a Wine and Malt Beverage Permit?
If your business will serve distilled spirits (liquor), you need a Mixed Beverage Permit (MB). If you will only serve beer and wine, a Wine and Malt Beverage Retailer’s Permit (BG) is sufficient. We have a full breakdown of the differences, costs, and which permit is right for your business. We assess your business model and recommend the correct TABC license and permit type.
Q4: Can you help with a liquor license anywhere in Texas?
Yes. Ranger Texas Liquor Licensing Agency serves businesses in all 254 Texas counties from our Houston office. We handle TABC licensing for bars and nightclubs, restaurants, breweries and wineries, package stores, sporting venues, and manufacturers in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth, El Paso, and every city in between.
Q5: What is the difference between a liquor license and a TABC permit?
In Texas, the terms are often used interchangeably, but technically a “permit” applies to liquor (distilled spirits and wine) authorizations while a “license” covers malt beverages. The distinction matters when choosing the right permit type for your business. We help businesses obtain both through our TABC license and permit services and can walk you through how to get a liquor license in Texas step by step.
