What if I have a criminal history?

The TABC reviews applications for licenses and permits to determine whether the applicant has a criminal history that directly relates to the occupations under the regulation of the Commission, pursuant to the Fresh Start Act. The TABC will not consider any convictions that have been expunged from an applicant’s criminal history. For further information please follow the below link to a Director’s Memo on this topic:
