Permit Bonds

Wholesale and manufacturing level alcoholic beverage licenses and permits are no longer required to post bonds in Texas.

This change may simplify the application process for certain businesses operating at the wholesale or manufacturing level. However, it is still important to review your full licensing requirements before applying, because other permits, registrations, tax obligations, or agency approvals may still apply.

Who May Be Affected?

This bond requirement change may apply to certain businesses involved in the production, distribution, or wholesale handling of alcoholic beverages, including:

• Alcohol manufacturers
• Breweries and beer manufacturers
• Wineries
• Distilleries
• Wholesalers
• Distributors

Bond Requirements May Still Apply in Other Situations

Although wholesale and manufacturing level licenses and permits may no longer require these specific permit bonds, other bond requirements may still apply depending on the business type, tax status, permit category, or agency involved.

For example, some businesses may still need bonds or financial guarantees connected to mixed beverage taxes, conduct requirements, or other regulatory obligations.
