TABC License Application Tracker
OpeningWire identifies Texas restaurant and bar prospects through public TABC liquor-license applications and issuances. Application records can help suppliers research businesses seeking a liquor license, while issued-license records show a later licensing stage. The sample below contains application records from Texas metros. A listed application does not confirm an opening date, current application status, or eventual approval; check current TABC records before relying on it.

Sample refresh time unknown
A verified source-refresh time for this table is unavailable. Weekly delivery is the subscription schedule, not a statement that this sample is current. Records may be out of date; confirm current license status and opening plans.
Archive reference: the snapshot contained TABC application filing dates from July 26–August 2, 2026. This archive reference is not a source-refresh time or an opening date.
Filed means the TABC application filing date, not the venue’s opening date or the feed’s update time. Status labels reflect the sampled records. TABC records do not cover every restaurant. Scroll the table horizontally on smaller screens.

Frequently asked questions
Does an application confirm a restaurant will open?
No. An application shows that a business has sought a liquor license. It does not establish an opening date or guarantee that the application will be approved.
Does this sample confirm an application is still pending?
No. These are sample records, and their current status may have changed. Check the refresh information above and verify the application in current TABC records.
Can I subscribe to application leads in my territory?
OpeningWire offers a weekly CSV subscription with restaurant and bar leads from TABC applications and issued licenses for your selected territory. One-metro plans start at $99 per month; see the pricing section on the homepage for plan details.
