INDUSTRY NOTICE: Late filing fees for temporary event authorizations

To: Applicants for Temporary Event Approvals or Nonprofit Entity Temporary Event Permits

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission is reminding industry members that Temporary Event Approvals (TEAs) and Nonprofit Entity Temporary Event Permits (NTs) must be submitted at least 10 business days before the start date of an event to avoid paying late fees.

Submissions of a TEA request or NT application are subject to the following late filing fees if submitted less than 10 business days prior to the start date of the event:

  • $300 for applications received nine to seven business days before the event. 
  • $500 for applications received six to four business days before the event. 
  • $900 for applications received three to one business day before the event. 

Late filing fees do not apply to File and Use Notifications or to NT permits that are specifically for auctions.
