TABC redesigns certificate for completing seller/server certification
TABC has redesigned the certificate issued to bartenders, cashiers and servers who successfully complete an agency-approved seller/server certification course.
The seller/server certification course teaches the laws and rules of responsible alcoholic beverage sales and service in Texas, in addition to intervention techniques to prevent sales to minors and intoxicated customers.
Once an employee completes seller/server certification, they are issued a certificate as proof of their successful completion. Each certificate is valid for two years and must be renewed by taking the training again after a certificate expires.
The design change does not impact the validity of current seller/server certifications. Training schools may still issue certificates in the older design to trainees as they make the switch. Employers and employees should check the Certificate Inquiry System to verify the status of a TABC seller/server certification.
The certificate was redesigned in August 2026 to align with the agency’s branding standards.

Google Pay and Apple Pay are digital wallet services that allow users to store payment information and make secure payments.
