Dear TABC License/Permit Holder,It's time for your annual compliance report. Under state law, your business needs to use the TABC: Compliance Reporting mobile app to complete and submit your report. You'll need to do this for each of your licensed or permitted locations in Texas.The reporting period begins Sept. 15 and ends Dec. 1. This gives your business several months to use the app (available on Android and iOS) to complete your report(s) at your own convenience. Inspections through the Compliance Reporting app are quick and replace long on-site inspections with a TABC auditor.Returning Users (Already Registered in the Administrative Portal)If your business entity completed a compliance report in 2019 or you have already registered the entity and its associated licenses/permits in the Compliance Reporting Administrative Portal, you're ready to go. Simply ask the designated administrator(s) or user(s) for that entity to log in to the TABC: Compliance Reporting app to begin completing the report(s).

  • Returning users can use the Administrative Portal to check information and update the people responsible for completing the report(s). You can also use the portal if your business entity added a new licensed or permitted location since your last report in 2019. Visit the Administrative Portal.

  • If you have a license or permit under a new business entity that did not submit a 2019 compliance report, follow the registration process for new users below.

  2. The administrator must open the registration link in a web browser and complete the online registration process only once.
