Renew Alcoholic Beverage Licenses Through the County Tax Office

Selling alcohol in El Paso County can involve two desks. Renewals run through the Ascarate Tax Office, where beer, wine, and liquor licenses clear with the license statement and payment.

A new license starts with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. That means a business may deal with TABC for the state license and the county Tax Office for the local renewal or payment.

The earlier trap is the address. A storefront can look perfect and still miss a setback or zoning rule. Before signing a lease, walk the location past zoning, TABC, the city, and the county.
