TABC Officials and Presence
When the State Fair of Texas kicks off, representatives from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission will be on hand to ensure safety and smooth operations at the more than two dozen TABC-licensed vendors operating within the fair park.
Among those responsibilities is ensuring vendors and their employees keep customer safety in mind when selling and serving alcoholic beverages, said Tana Travis, TABC licensing supervisor for the Arlington region.
During the fair, TABC Enforcement agents will visit vendors – both covertly and openly – to ensure compliance with the state’s alcohol statutes.
