TABC WARNS BARS & RESTAURANTS TO FOLLOW GUIDELINES

  

The state is telling all bars and restaurants in Texas to follow the COVID-19 protocols or risk having your license suspended.

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission says they are strictly monitoring bar and restaurant activity and will pursue emergency liquor license suspensions if there are violations that are a threat to public health and safety.

Current requirements include “indoor customer capacity limits of 50% for bars and 75% for restaurants, along with social distancing of at least 6 feet between groups of customers.”

According to the TABC, the first infraction will result in up to a 30-day license suspension, and the second infraction will result in up to a 60-day suspension.

Over the last month, the TABC says agents have inspected nearly 3,000 locations across the state. They say they’ve found that most operators are acting responsibly and following the rules.
