Alcohol Permitting

If you are a new business needing to obtain a permit or license you must complete the TABC applications and pay associated fees.

Once you have obtained the TABC permit, you will receive a notice from the City of New Braunfels City Secretary's Office to pay the appropriate fee equal to one-half of the state fee. (Sec. 11.38 and 61.36, Texas Alcohol Beverage Code) for your Alcohol Permit. However, Mixed Beverage Permit holders will also receive a notice from the City Secretary's Office during the third year of operation following the issuance of the Mixed Beverage Permit and a fee equal to one-half of the state fee will be due.

Section 11.38(e) Local Fee Authorized, Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code, allows TABC to deny or cancel a permit for the retail sale or service of alcoholic beverages, including a permit held by the holder of a food and beverage certificate, if it finds that the permit holder or applicant has not paid delinquent property taxes due on that permitted premises or from a business operated on that premises. 

Fees will vary according to the type of beer, wine, or liquor permits and licenses required for the operation of your establishment. For more information on fees, please contact 830-221-4005.
