The mission of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission is to serve the people of Texas and protect the public health and safety through consistent, fair and timely administration of the Alcoholic Beverage Code. TABC regulates all phases of the alcoholic beverage industry in Texas, including sales, taxation, importation, manufacturing, transporting and advertising. When the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution repealed Prohibition, the states took charge of regulating the alcoholic beverage industry. The Texas Legislature passed the Texas Liquor Control Act, creating the Texas Liquor Control Board in 1935. The agency was renamed the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission in 1970, and the Liquor Control Act was updated in 1977, becoming the Alcoholic Beverage Code.

The Licensing Department of TABC Regulatory Affairs Division investigates and processes applications for all phases of the industry including the manufacture, product registration, sale, purchase, transportation, storage, and distribution of alcoholic beverages. The agency's product registration team is also part of the licensing team and is responsible for approving registrations for products sold in Texas.

The license types being issued include Manufacturing, Distribution, Retail, Other License and Permits, and Subordinate Licenses and Permits. Each licensee is registered with license number, license owner name, license type, issue date, expiration date, business location, telephone, etc.
