It’s time to conduct 2026 compliance reports

Businesses must complete a 2026 compliance report (i.e., self-inspection) for each of their TABC-licensed and permitted locations in Texas through AIMS by June 30, 2026. This requirement only applies to businesses with a primary license or originally issued in 2024 or before. No compliance report is due in 2026 for licenses and permits originally issued in 2025 or 2026.  Completing a compliance report helps TABC confirm that your business is following the law. Failing to file a report on time could result in a visit from TABC, an administrative warning, or suspension or cancellation of your license.
