El Paso Alcohol License Attorney
Bar owners depend on their alcohol licenses. When those licenses are threatened by the actions of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC), entire businesses are threatened. If you are a bar or restaurant owner faced with a TABC violation, you need the assistance of a lawyer experienced in these unique matters.
My name is Mark T. Davis. In 2004, I formed the El Paso Bar Owners Association. This organization is dedicated to protecting the rights of bar owners. It has protected those rights not only in the courtroom, but by fighting and stopping legislation that could be potentially harmful. For example, it has fought legislation to allow sobriety checkpoints in Texas. I continue to be an active member and lead counsel for this organization. Needless to say, I am experienced in this unique area of the law and committed to bar owners' rights.
Defense Against All TABC Violations
There are a wide variety of violations the TABC can hand out. It is surprisingly easy to be cited for a violation of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code, even for bar owners who have every good intention.
Common violations issued include:
- Subterfuge
- Serving an intoxicated person
- Serving a minor
- Failure to report a breach of the peace
These violations can be costly and they can put licenses in jeopardy. They can cause the loss of mixed beverage licenses, late hours permits and cartage permits. You can and should contest these violations. I am here to help.
TABC Hearings
Defending against TABC violations is not the same as defending against a crime. These cases are heard before a judge at the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH). Preparation for these cases is crucial, because options for appealing are extremely limited by a narrow time frame. I take great care to thoroughly prepare a case that is designed to win, knowing this hearing may be the only place to do so. I have built an impressive record of helping bar owners defend against these violations.
