TABC license or permit holders and nonprofits without a license can use the new Alcohol Industry Management System (AIMS) to submit temporary event authorizations to TABC after they’ve onboarded into AIMS.

Once you’ve onboarded into AIMS, using the new system will ensure your event authorization is processed quicker.

To start using AIMS, follow the steps on the How To Use AIMS webpage.

All others should visit the Temporary Events Authorizations webpage to access and submit completed forms by email or appointment at a TABC office.
