require a bartending license. Anyone 18 or older can pour and serve, and TABC certification is voluntary under state law. There is no mobile bar liquor license in Texas. If your client buys the alcohol, you can run a mobile bar with zero TABC permits. If you want to sell alcohol, the only real path is a Mixed Beverage Permit paired with a Caterer&#8217;s Permit. This guide covers both routes, the age rules, the costs, and the traps that get Texas bartenders in trouble.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex flex-wrap gap-2 mt-6\">\n<span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 bg-white\/10 border border-white\/25 text-white text-sm font-semibold rounded-full px-4 py-1.5\"><svg class=\"w-4 h-4\" viewbox=\"0 0 20 20\" fill=\"#D9A441\"><path d=\"M10 1l2.2 6.6H19l-5.4 4 2 6.4L10 14l-5.6 4 2-6.4L1 7.6h6.8z\"><\/path><\/svg> \u30d0\u30fc\u30c6\u30f3\u30c0\u30fc\u514d\u8a31\u306a\u3057<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 bg-white\/10 border border-white\/25 text-white text-sm font-semibold rounded-full px-4 py-1.5\"><svg class=\"w-4 h-4\" viewbox=\"0 0 20 20\" fill=\"#34D399\"><path d=\"M10 0a10 10 0 100 20 10 10 0 000-20zm-1 14l-4-4 1.4-1.4L9 11.2l4.6-4.6L15 8z\"><\/path><\/svg> Serve at 18+<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 bg-white\/10 border border-white\/25 text-white text-sm font-semibold rounded-full px-4 py-1.5\"><svg class=\"w-4 h-4\" viewbox=\"0 0 20 20\" fill=\"#34D399\"><path d=\"M10 0a10 10 0 100 20 10 10 0 000-20zm-1 14l-4-4 1.4-1.4L9 11.2l4.6-4.6L15 8z\"><\/path><\/svg> Dry Hire: $0 TABC Permits<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 bg-white\/10 border border-white\/25 text-white text-sm font-semibold rounded-full px-4 py-1.5\"><svg class=\"w-4 h-4\" viewbox=\"0 0 20 20\" fill=\"#F0B95E\"><path d=\"M3 2h14l-6 8v6l3 2H6l3-2v-6z\"><\/path><\/svg> Selling Alcohol: MB + CB Permits<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"text-blue-200 text-sm mt-5\">Current as of July 2026.

Grouped so you can jump to what matters.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-extrabold text-lg mb-3 mt-2\" style=\"color:#BF0D3E;\">Licensing and Dry Hire<\/h3>\n<div class=\"space-y-3 mb-8\">\n<details>\n<summary>Do you need a bartending license in Texas?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">No. Texas has no bartending license. TABC seller-server certification exists, but it is voluntary under state law. Most employers and insurers require it anyway because certified staff give the business safe harbor protection.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do you need a liquor license for a mobile bar in Texas?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">Only if you sell alcohol. A dry hire mobile bar where the client owns the alcohol needs no TABC permit at all. Selling requires a Mixed Beverage Permit at a permanent address plus a Caterer&#8217;s Permit, because Texas has no mobile liquor license.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is dry hire mobile bartending?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">The client purchases and owns all alcohol. You provide bartenders, the bar, mixers, ice, and consumables, and you invoice for those services only. Because no alcohol is sold, no TABC permit is required. It is the standard model for Texas mobile bartending.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can you have a mobile bar in Texas?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">Yes. Mobile bars are legal statewide. Run dry hire with zero TABC permits, or sell drinks under an MB + CB permit stack anchored to a permanent premises. The only thing you cannot do is sell alcohol with no permit or license the vehicle itself.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can I charge a per-person open bar package that includes alcohol?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">Not without a permit. If the alcohol cost is baked into your package price, TABC can treat you as the seller even though guests never pay per drink. Keep alcohol purchases in the client&#8217;s name and price your packages on labor, equipment, and consumables only.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can my client reimburse me for alcohol I pick up?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">No. Buying alcohol and getting reimbursed puts the sale inside your business. Have the client order from the liquor store directly. Many stores in Texas metros deliver, and you can hand the client a shopping list sized to their guest count.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can I put out a tip jar at a dry hire event?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">Genuinely voluntary tips for service are fine. What you cannot do is use a tip jar as disguised drink payment, like a suggested amount per drink or refusing to pour without a tip. If a reasonable guest would read it as a drink price, so will TABC.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"font-extrabold text-lg mb-3\" style=\"color:#BF0D3E;\">Selling Alcohol, MB + CB, and Permits<\/h3>\n<div class=\"space-y-3 mb-8\">\n<details>\n<summary>How do I get a liquor license for a mobile bar in Texas?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">There is no direct license. You lease or own a commercial premises, obtain a Mixed Beverage Permit for it at $5,300 for the original two year term, then add the subordinate Caterer&#8217;s Permit that lets you sell at event sites. Every catered event gets a certificate filed with the local TABC office, and it only works where local option elections allow mixed beverage sales.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"counter-reset:reference 17;\">\n<summary>Is there a temporary bar permit in Texas?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">Not for for-profit businesses. Since September 2021 the only temporary event permit is the Nonprofit Entity Temporary Event Permit at $50 per day for up to 10 consecutive days, and it is limited to qualifying nonprofits<span class=\"pb-cite\"><a href=\"#citation-18\" class=\"pb-cite-number\" aria-label=\"See citation\"><\/a><span class=\"pb-cite-tooltip\">TABC Form L-NT: a Nonprofit Entity Temporary Event permit may be issued to a nonprofit entity as defined in Sec. 30.01. Fees are $50 per day, effective for no more than ten consecutive days. Permit holders must maintain exclusive control of all phases of possession, sale, and service.<em>Click to view full citation<\/em><\/span><\/span>. The old Daily Temporary Mixed Beverage Permit no longer exists. A for-profit mobile bar either runs dry hire, holds MB + CB, or works under another permit holder.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can I sell drinks at a festival or public event?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">Only under a permit. Public events where drinks are sold need a TABC permit holder running alcohol service, either the event&#8217;s own permit, a nonprofit NT permit, or a caterer&#8217;s MB + CB. A dry hire setup does not fit public events because there is no single host who owns the alcohol.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is TABC compliant bartending?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">Service that follows the Alcoholic Beverage Code: TABC certified staff, no service to minors, no service to obviously intoxicated guests, sales only under a valid permit, and honest separation of alcohol ownership in dry hire work. If you market yourself as TABC compliant, those are the boxes to actually check.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can I partner with a licensed caterer instead of getting my own permits?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">Yes, and it is a common bridge. The caterer&#8217;s MB + CB covers the sale, their permit controls purchasing and pricing, and your company provides bars and staffing under their supervision. The permit holder must control all phases of alcohol sales, so structure the deal as them selling and you servicing.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What taxes do Mixed Beverage Permit holders pay?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">Two stack on every sale: a 6.7 percent mixed beverage gross receipts tax paid by the permittee and an 8.25 percent mixed beverage sales tax, filed monthly with the Texas Comptroller. Budget for both when pricing cash bar packages.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"font-extrabold text-lg mb-3\" style=\"color:#BF0D3E;\">Age and TABC Certification<\/h3>\n<div class=\"space-y-3 mb-8\">\n<details>\n<summary>How old do you have to be to bartend in Texas?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">18. State law prohibits employing anyone under 18 to sell, prepare, serve, or handle liquor. Some employers set their own minimum at 21, but that is company policy, not law.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can you bartend at 18 in Texas?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">Yes. At 18 you can legally bartend, serve, and sell alcohol anywhere in Texas, including full liquor service. The drinking age stays 21, so you can pour drinks you cannot legally drink for three more years.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"counter-reset:reference 18;\">\n<summary>Can someone under 18 work for my mobile bar company?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">In non-serving roles, yes. On-premise permit holders may employ under 18 workers in any capacity other than the actual selling, preparing, or serving of alcohol<span class=\"pb-cite\"><a href=\"#citation-19\" class=\"pb-cite-number\" aria-label=\"See citation\"><\/a><span class=\"pb-cite-tooltip\">Tex. Alco. Bev. Code 106.09(c): a holder of a permit or license providing for on-premises consumption &#8220;may employ a person under 18 years of age to work in any capacity other than the actual selling, preparing, or serving of alcoholic beverages.&#8221;<em>Click to view full citation<\/em><\/span><\/span>. For a dry hire crew, keep anyone under 18 on setup, teardown, and non-alcohol prep, and keep them away from the pour.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is TABC certification required, and how long does it last?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">Not required by state law, but required by nearly every employer, venue, and insurer. The online course takes about two hours, costs $10 to $15, and the certification is valid for two years. Renewal means retaking the course.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What does the TABC course actually cover?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">Checking IDs, spotting fake IDs, recognizing intoxication, refusing service, minor laws, and the seller&#8217;s personal criminal liability. It exists so servers stop violations before they happen, which is exactly what triggers the safe harbor protection for your business.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"font-extrabold text-lg mb-3\" style=\"color:#BF0D3E;\">Costs and Startup<\/h3>\n<div class=\"space-y-3 mb-8\">\n<details>\n<summary>How much does it cost to start a mobile bartending business in Texas?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">Dry hire: typically $2,000 to $8,000. That covers the $300 LLC filing, a free sales tax permit, TABC certifications, insurance at $500 to $1,500 per year, a portable bar at $700 to $5,000, and starter consumable stock. Adding alcohol sales through MB + CB permits pushes year one well past $10,000 before the premises lease.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How much is a liquor license for a mobile bar?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">The Mixed Beverage Permit state fee is $5,300 for the original two year term and $2,650 at renewal, plus the subordinate Caterer&#8217;s Permit fee, surety bonds, a Food and Beverage Certificate if required, and possible city and county fees. There is no cheaper mobile-only alternative.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What insurance does a Texas mobile bartender need?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">General liability plus liquor liability, usually bundled for $500 to $1,500 per year at dry hire scale. Liquor liability matters even without a permit because dram shop style claims follow the server, not just the seller. Venues will ask for a certificate of insurance before load-in.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What NAICS code fits a mobile bartending service?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">Most dry hire mobile bartending businesses file under 722320, Caterers, since you provide event food and beverage service without selling alcohol. Operations that sell alcohol under their own permit lean toward 722410, Drinking Places. Pick the one matching how your revenue actually flows.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"font-extrabold text-lg mb-3\" style=\"color:#BF0D3E;\">Consumables, Equipment, and Operations<\/h3>\n<div class=\"space-y-3\">\n<details>\n<summary>What consumables do mobile bartending services use?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">Ice, mixers, sodas, juices, garnishes, simple syrups, bitters, cups, napkins, straws, and cocktail picks. Plan roughly 1.5 to 2 lbs of ice and 2 to 3 mixer servings per guest. In dry hire these consumables plus labor and equipment are exactly what your invoice lists.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What equipment do I need to start?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">A professional portable bar sized to your typical guest count, a back bar for bottle display at bigger events, coolers and ice bins, shakers, strainers, jiggers, pour spouts, and transport cases. Most operators start with one 48 to 62 inch bar and add a second as bookings stack up.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Are there still dry counties in Texas in 2026?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pb-faq-body\">Yes, three: Borden, Kent, and Roberts. Throckmorton went wet for beer and wine in November 2024. The bigger operational issue is the 191 partially wet counties where rules change at precinct lines, so check the TABC wet dry map for every new venue.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"mt-14\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(140deg,#0A1D3D 0%,#002868 55%,#1B4A8A 100%);\">\n<div class=\"max-w-6xl mx-auto px-5 py-12 md:py-16 relative overflow-hidden\">\n<svg class=\"absolute -top-8 -right-8 w-48 h-48 opacity-10\" viewbox=\"0 0 100 100\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M50 5 L61 38 L96 38 L68 59 L79 92 L50 71 L21 92 L32 59 L4 38 L39 38 Z\" fill=\"#ffffff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/p>\n<div class=\"grid md:grid-cols-2 gap-8 items-center relative\">\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"text-white text-2xl md:text-3xl font-extrabold mb-3\">Your Texas Laws Are Handled.
