Things to keep in mind
A bar (business not selling more than 40% food) is required to post a Conduct Surety Bond by TABC. The amount of the bond depends on the proximity of the location to the nearest school. This bond expires every year for the life of the permit. This will be an item in your invoice/estimate.
Credit does not influence your ability to obtain any permit, however, MB permitees are required to post two $3,750.00 Mixed Beverage Bonds by the Comptroller of Public Accounts after the state alcohol permit is issued. If the applicant's credit is good, our bonding company will only require the applicant to purchase the bonds at a small fraction of the full amount. If the applicant's credit isn't good - the bonding company might not approve the bonds and the applicant will have to make the $3,750.00 deposit peh bond directly to the comptroller.
Mixed Beverage Bonds expire every December 31st regardless of when they were obtained.
Deposits to Comptroller can be requested to be released after two years of correctly paying and reporting taxes on time. For Comptroller to decide if reports were done with no errors, they might conduct an audit before releasing the deposit.
Mixed Beverage Permits are the most expensive state permits which is why city and county departments are not allowed to charge for their local permits until the 3rd year of business. After the 3rd year, they will require their local permits to be obtained. At TXLLA we will keep you up to date with all of your renewal dates so you don't have to worry about it. We will send you an invoice for your first set of bonds after we get your TABC permit issued.
The City of Houston is one of the only cities in the state that charges for their city permit every year. State and County permits are due every two years. If your location is outside the city limits, you don't have to worry about city permits.
Contact us by phone, email, or text with your business address or the city you will potentially establish your business and we'll provide a free consultation and go over any questions you might have.
