Liquor licenses and beverage permits are the foundation of any business that sells or serves alcohol in Texas. The right class depends on what you sell, where you sell it, and how your guests consume it, from a full mixed beverage bar to a package store to a restaurant serving wine and beer. Gerald Franklin Agency confirms the correct permit for your concept and location, prepares the application, secures the required bonds, completes the local certifications, and tracks the filing through the TABC so you open on time.

Two Paths

Licenses and Permits, Explained

Questions

Liquor Licenses and Beverage Permits FAQ

Do I need a license or a permit?

Texas uses both terms across the different classes. What matters is matching the exact class to what you sell and how it is consumed. We identify the correct one during your consultation, so you never pay for the wrong permit.

Can one business hold more than one permit?

Yes. Many businesses hold a primary permit plus additional permits or certificates, for example a Mixed Beverage Permit with a Food and Beverage Certificate. We map the full set your operation needs.

How long does approval take?

Timelines vary by permit class and locality. We give you a realistic schedule for your specific permit and location up front and manage the process to keep it moving.
