Who typically handles administrative actions for TABC violations?

• A. The Texas Department of Public Safety.
• B. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.
• C. The Federal Bureau of Investigation.
• D. The City Licensing Office.

Answer: (B)

Administrative actions for TABC violations are handled by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission itself. TABC is the state agency that licenses and regulates alcoholic beverages, and when a violation occurs, it conducts investigations, imposes administrative penalties (such as fines or license suspensions/revocations), and runs the hearings process to determine compliance. Other agencies like the Texas Department of Public Safety handle criminal enforcement, the FBI handles federal cases, and a City Licensing Office deals with local licenses—not the state-level administrative actions tied to TABC violations.
