Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code - ALCO BEV § 61.03. Expiration or Suspension of License

(a) Except as provided by Subsections (d) and (e) or another provision of this code, any license except a branch, importer's, importer's carrier's, or temporary license expires on the second anniversary of the date on which it is issued.  Notwithstanding Section 5.50(b), the commission shall require double the amount of fees and surcharges otherwise applicable under this code for a license with a two-year term.

(a) Except as provided by Subsections (d) and (e) or another provision of this code, any license except a branch license expires on the second anniversary of the date on which it is issued.  

(b) A secondary license which requires the holder of the license to first obtain another license, including a late hours license or temporary license, expires on the same date the basic or primary license expires.  The commission may not prorate or refund any part of the fee for the secondary license if the application of this section results in the expiration of the license in less than two years.

(b) A secondary license or certificate which requires the holder of the license or certificate to first obtain another license, including a retailer late hours certificate, expires on the same date the basic or primary license expires.  The commission may not prorate or refund any part of the fee for the secondary license or certificate if the application of this section results in the expiration of the license in less than two years.

(c) An action by the commission resulting in the suspension of a basic or primary license also acts to suspend any secondary license held by the holder of the basic or primary license.

(d) The commission by rule may require that the expiration date for an individual license holder's license is the first anniversary of the date on which the license is issued due to the license holder's violation history.

(e) The commission may issue a license with an expiration date less than two years after the date the license is issued in order to maintain a reasonable annual distribution of renewal application review work and license fees.  If the commission issues a license with an expiration date less than two years after the date the license is issued, the commission shall prorate the license fee on a monthly basis so that the license holder pays only that portion of the license fee that is allocable to the number of months during which the license is valid.
