On-premises retail (mixed beverage, private club, wine & beer retailer) needs a $5,000 TABC conduct bond, and mixed-beverage permittees also post Comptroller tax bonds — so in Texas the bond is real, even for retail.
On-premises retail (mixed beverage, private club, wine & beer retailer) needs a $5,000 TABC conduct bond, and mixed-beverage permittees also post Comptroller tax bonds — so in Texas the bond is real, even for retail.
Who posts a bond in Texas: On-premises retail permittees (a TABC conduct bond) plus mixed-beverage / private-club permittees (Comptroller tax bonds). The regulator is the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) + Texas Comptroller.
Typical amounts: Conduct bond $5,000 ($10,000 within 1,000 ft of a school); mixed-beverage/private-club tax bonds vary. You pay a small percentage of the bond amount as your premium. We confirm the exact figure before you pay.
Requirements and amounts change and vary by license class and locality — we verify your exact requirement with the state before you pay.
Yes — Texas Dram Shop Act (Alco. Bev. Code Ch. 2). Liquor-liability insurance covers it; that is separate from the bond.
Your standard general-liability policy excludes alcohol claims — so a single incident can hit you with no coverage. When we handle your bond, we also line up liquor liability, property/BOP and workers' comp. The bond satisfies the state; the insurance protects your business.
