FAQ

Quick answers

What permit does a Texas bar need?

Most full bars hold a Mixed Beverage Permit (MB). Beer-and-wine venues often hold a BG. FB and Late Hours certificates add authority.

When is the Texas mixed beverage gross receipts tax due?

Monthly, by the 20th of the following month. The rate is 6.7% of gross receipts, paid by the permit holder.

Do you work with bars outside Texas?

Yes. Retail licensing runs through each state and often the city or county too. We file there. Beverage programs, pricing, inventory and training work the same anywhere.

Can you run daily operations?

Yes. Engagements range from a license package to full management.
