TABC agents are commissioned peace officers with statewide jurisdiction to enforce all provisions of the Alcoholic Beverage Code, which regulates every phase of business in the alcoholic beverage industry. As commissioned peace officers, they enforce all state laws.
Agents primarily focus on violations that impact public safety. These public safety issues are human trafficking, intoxication-related violations, age-related violations, breaches of the peace, prohibited hours violations and drug offenses.
See Section 5.31 of the Alcoholic Beverage Code.
